Ingredients

2 to 3 tablespoons coconut oil (olive oil may be substituted)
1 medium/large sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, diced small
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
one 13-ounce can coconut milk (I used lite; full-fat will deliver a richer/thicker result)
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 to 3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste, or to taste (curry powder may be substituted, to taste)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
about 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar, optional and to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped for garnishing (basil may be substituted)
rice, quinoa, or naan, optional for serving

Steps:

To a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.
Add the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is done; flip and stir often to ensure even cooking.
Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.
Add the coconut milk, carrots, Thai curry paste, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly.
Add the spinach, lime juice, and stir to combine. Cook until spinach has wilted and is tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and optionally add brown sugar, additional curry paste, salt, pepper, etc. to taste.
Evenly sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately. Curry is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

4 tablespoons coconut butter
½ red onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon fennel seeds
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup water
1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut
4 curry leaves, or more to taste
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ cup cooked chickpeas
2 ounces broccoli florets, chopped
4 small heads baby bok choy

Steps:

Melt coconut butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic using a wooden spoon until translucent and lightly brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt, cumin, pepper, fennel seeds, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala; mix until well incorporated. Stir in corn starch until a creamy paste forms.
Slowly mix water into the saucepan to dissolve cornstarch and thicken the mixture. Keep stirring until there are no lumps. Stir in chickpeas and broccoli and briefly cook until just lightly crisp and tender (do not overcook). Mix in coconut cream and curry leaves and cover pan halfway with a lid. Simmer until liquid is reduced and has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove lid and lower heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until liquid is reduced and curry is thick and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add bok choy and cook until wilted and curry has further reduced, 3 to 5 minutes.
