Sukie’s Curry in a Hurry recipe

Oh geez. . this isn’t a quilting/sewing blog post but a foodie one!

Today, I’m sharing with you my curry recipe.  I call it Sukie’s Curry in a Hurry – because as a full time working mom, I still want to make good meals for the family but they gotta be good and quick!

Ingredients:

1.5 – 2.0 lbs of chicken breast cut into chunks (now you could use pork/beef/or vegan – totally up to you)

2 yams peeled and chopped into chunks

1 onion cut into chunks (don’t you like how technical I’m am)

2 cans of Coconut Milk (see picture below on the brand I use)

1 can of low sodium Chicken broth (now if you’re pork/beef use Beef stock and vegan go with veggie stock)

3-4tbs of  Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste (you can find this in the asian aisle of the supermarket)

Olive oil

Salt & Pepper

Directions

• Get a huge pot or frying pan and coat the bottom with olive oil.  How much you use it dependant on you.  I usually use 2tbs
• Throw the yams and onion in and season with salt & pepper should look like below:

• Stir occasionally
• Cook til yams get a bit of brown around them like so:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper and throw them on into the big frying pan/pot you’re using.
• Stir occasionally
• Once the chicken is mostly cooked or white (it still can be pink, you just want some of the edges to be cooked) add in 3-4tbs of the curry paste – the more you add the spicier it will be.  I usually add in 4tbs.

• Stir and make sure most of the yummy good stuff gets coated (30-60secs of stirring folks)
• Add the 2 cans of coconut milk and the one can of brooth

• Simmer for 30-40mins (depends on your yams, once you can stab the biggest one through with a butter knife it’s done)
• (Optional if you want it to burn) Add a couple squirts of the Sriacha Hot Chile sauce

• Taste and salt and pepper to you taste buds desire. (you should be doing this throughout anyway to make sure you’re not way off)

Normally I serve the curry like a soup or over rice.  I like have a hearty piece of bread to sop up the yummy broth!  Also add other veggies as you see fit – I could see additions of chickpeas or peas.  If you don’t like yams put potatoes  really whatever floats your boat.
