Chicken Curry with Pineapple and Potatoes

Jan 26, 2010

 
I love curry but surprisingly I don't recall ever making it at home. I always think it's too complicated to make so I just leave it to the professionals to make it for me. Whenever I see it on a menu at a restaurant whether it be green, red, or yellow, mild or spicy, I must order it because I just love this stuff.  I love the sauce more than anything with my rice. The creaminess of the coconut milk has a velvety texture in my mouth with a party of flavors bursting inside from all the spices while the heat just dances away. I can't get enough of this stuff as I savor it one bite at a time. What's not to love about curry? I've been missing it lately and I knew I had to make it sooner or later. Tonight, I'm on a mission to make it for dinner. I didn't really know know where to begin but here I go. My mis en place contains chicken, garlic, coconut milk, curry powder, ginger powder, red chili peppers, and other seasonings. 

The outcome was surprisingly delicious as if I was dining at a restaurant. All the components of what I like about curry was right in front of me, and I made it.


Ingredients: 
1 tbs of vegetable oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
1 1/2 tbs of curry powder
1 tsp of ginger powder
1 tsp of garlic salt
2 tbs of Thai fish sauce
2 medium potatoes, chopped
3 red chilies, chopped, seeded if desired
1 tbs of lime juice
1 cup of coconut milk
1 1/2 cup of pineapple, chunk


Directions:
Over medium pan, heat oil and saute garlic. Add chicken and saute until golden brown.
Add curry powder, ginger powder, garlic salt, and fish sauce. Saute ingredients for 2-3 minutes
Add potatoes, lime juice, coconut milk, red chilies, and pineapple and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Way to go for it, Janice! I love curry, and yours looks delicious. I think you hit it out of the park your first time at the plate ... the curry plate, that is. ;)

Me too!!! I love curry, especially the duck in green curry!!! that's always on the top of my choice in a Thai restaurant.

it's a very good idea to put the pineapple in that curry :-D I once had the pineapple with fried chicken, it's so good. the pineapple is really a hit in the meat dish I guess.
