CHICKEN CURRY from WINNERS OF THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE, Mystikka Masala!

Chicken Curry

 Servings: 4 | Prep time: 10 mins | Cooking time: 25 mins 


Ingredients:

1 lb - boneless skinless chicken breast; chopped into bite sized pieces

1 Tbsp - vegetable oil

1 Tbsp - minced garlic

1 - small yellow or white onion chopped

2 Tbsp - Mystikka Masala Curry Powder

1 Tbsp - Thai red curry paste

1- 15- ounce can of full-fat coconut milk

1/2 cup - water or chicken stock

1 Tbsp - brown sugar

1 tsp - fish sauce

2 Tbsp - fresh lime juice

salt to taste

handful fresh cilantro roughly chopped

4 cups - cooked white rice (for serving)


Directions: 

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium low heat. 

2. Add the onions and minced garlic and cook for a few minutes until the onions are fragrant and softened.

3. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, browning it a little.

4. Add Mystikka Masala Curry Powder and paste; cook for 3-5 minutes.

5. Add the coconut milk, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

6. Add water or chicken stock depending on the consistency you want for the sauce, or let simmer longer to thicken if needed.

7. Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. 

8. Taste and salt if needed

Top with fresh cilantro, serve over cooked rice.


NOTES:  How thick you want your curry sauce is up to you, so you can add chicken stock or water to thin it after simmering. However, sometimes chicken will let out a lot of juice, and instead of needing to thin it, you might need to let it thicken more, so you would simmer longer. This will vary based on the heat of your stovetop and the ingredients you use, so adjust to your preference.

1 tsp - lemon juice

1/2 tsp - honey

1 tsp -  Mystikka Masala Curry Powder 

1/4 tsp - salt

1/4 tsp - freshly cracked pepper

2.5 cups - chopped cooked chicken

Pinch salt & pepper 

2 - stalks celery

3 - whole green onions

1/2 cup - sliced almonds

Directions: 

1. Make the dressing by stirring together the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, honey, Mystikka Masala Curry Powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. 

2. Taste the dressing and adjust the curry powder or salt if needed.

3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.

4. Cook the chicken breast in either a countertop grill or in a skillet until cooked through. Allow the cooked chicken breast to cool while you prepare the rest of the salad.

5. Finely dice the celery and slice the green onions. Place the green onion, celery, sliced almonds, and raisins in a large bowl.
