Creamy Massaman Chicken Curry
A warm-the-cockles kind of curry from Cherie Metcalfe of Pepper & Me.
This dish is creamy, nutty and addictive. It’s kid friendly and it makes a lot, so (happily) you may have leftovers to freeze. Depending on your companions, of course!
Serves 6
Oil, for frying
1 onion, cut into wedges
2 carrots peeled, cut into 3cm rounds
500g potato peeled, cut into 5cm chunks
5 tbs Pepper & Me Titillating Tandoori Paste (substitute other tandoori paste)
2 x 400ml cans coconut cream
3 tbs Pepper & Me Rock Out with Your Wok Out Sauce (substitute any soy-based
or ginger stirfry sauce)
4 tbs peanut butter
1-2 tablespoon sugar or honey
500g chicken thigh or breast, cut into 1.5cm cubes
Lime, to serve
Steamed rice, to serve
Naan, to serve (optional)
Place a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, add a generous glug of oil and the onion.
Fry for a few minutes until it starts to soften, then add the carrot and potato, and cook for a
few minutes. Add the tandoori paste and fry for a minute, stirring, then add the coconut cream,
wok sauce, peanut butter, sugar and season with Man Grind Salt Blend or regular salt.
Bring to a simmer, then add the chicken and cook for about 10–12 minutes or until cooked
through. Check your seasoning, adding more salt or sugar, if needed.
Remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lime, then serve with extra lime wedges,
steamed rice and warm naan.
