Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 cup coconut milk

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and sauté onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
  2. Add aromatics and spices: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the curry powder, ground turmeric, and chili powder, stirring and cooking for another minute to release their flavors.
  3. Brown the chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook them for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally until they are lightly browned on all sides.
  4. Simmer with coconut milk: Pour in the coconut milk and add the salt. Stir well to combine, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook gently for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
  5. Add the mango: Gently stir in the diced mango pieces. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, heating the mango through while keeping its shape intact to add a sweet contrast to the curry.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the curry for garnish. Serve the mango chicken curry hot, accompanied by steamed rice or naan bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust chili powder according to your heat preference.
  • For a richer curry, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • Chicken thighs can be used as an alternative for juicier meat.
  • This curry pairs well with jasmine rice or warm naan bread.
