Mango Chicken Curry with Steamed Rice

There is something about the combination of mango and chicken that just works.   The mango has a sweetness that cuts through the spice and richness of the curry.   And the rice is ABSOLUTELY needed to soak up the amazing sauce......or, if you're not into rice, make a pot of couscous or quinoa.  Trust me, you'll need a vehicle for the sauce!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
  • 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 mangos, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 13.5 ounce can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins (optional)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute. Add the curry powder and cumin, cook for a few more minutes. The spices will absorb some of the oil, so if anything begins to stick too much to the bottom of the pan, add a little more oil to the pan.
  • Add the vinegar, coconut milk, and one of the two chopped mangoes to the pan. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Scoop the sauce into a blender. Purée the sauce, pulsing until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan.
  • Add chicken pieces and raisins to the pan. Return to a low simmer. Cover the pan and let cook for 8-10 minutes. Chicken should be just cooked through. Use a knife to cut open the largest piece to check.
  • Add remaining chopped mango to the pan. Stir in the cream, if using. Let cook at a very low temperature for another minute or two, uncovered. Do not let boil! Or the cream may curdle. Adjust seasonings. If a little too sweet, add a little more vinegar.
  • If not sweet enough, you can add a dash of sugar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over rice. Garnish with cilantro.
