Equipment
- Large pan
Ingredients
- 2 thumb-sized pieces fresh root ginger peeled
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (approx 600g) chopped into 2 cm cubes
- 2 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder
- 100 g creamed coconut
- 400 ml canned coconut milk
- 2 green chillies finely sliced
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 10 chunks canned pineapple cut into 1-2cm pieces
- 100 g roasted salted cashew nuts
- small handful fresh coriander/cilantro finely chopped, to garnish
- 1 red chilli finely sliced, to garnish
- cooked rice or flatbreads to serve
Method
- Finely mince one of the pieces of ginger and slice the other into fine matchsticks. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and minced ginger and fry, stirring continuously, for eight minutes, until golden brown. Add the chicken to the pan and stir to combine with the onions, then add the garam masala, ground coriander, ground turmeric and chilli powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, for five minutes, to seal the chicken and coat it in the spices.
- Add the creamed coconut, coconut milk, ginger matchsticks, sliced chillies, salt, sugar, pineapple and cashews to the pan and stir to combine, adding a little of the juice from the canned pineapple if the mixture is too dry. Leave to cook, stirring occasionally, for five to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Scatter with chopped coriander/cilantro and sliced red chilli, then serve hot with rice or wraps alongside.
