Quick and Creamy Coconut Chicken Curry
This recipe is a great example of how to use coconut milk powder for a quick, flavorful meal.
Ingredients:
500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp coconut oil

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric powder

Method:
Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until it turns translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for about 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the chicken pieces and a pinch of salt. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut milk powder into the warm water until it forms a smooth, creamy liquid.
Pour the reconstituted coconut milk into the pan with the chicken. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook, uncovered, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
