Make creamy mango curry yourself
Our summery coconut mango curry is easy to prepare yourself – in just one pot. We advise you to make sure that you do not cook the curry at too high a heat or for too long, otherwise the coconut milk can curdle.
- First, the meat, onions, mango and peppers are cut into 2-3 cm cubes and the garlic is cut into thin slices. The herbs are plucked into small pieces and the cashews are roasted and roughly chopped.
- The coconut milk is heated together with the curry paste and the kaffir lime leaves. Then add the chicken, onions and garlic to the curry and bring it all to the boil briefly. Now add the pepper. After a few minutes of steeping, thicken the sauce with the cornstarch and simmer for another 2 minutes. When the meat is cooked through (to test it, cut a piece in half), add the diced mango and sprouts.
- We serve the finished mango coconut curry with fresh lime juice and herbs, as well as roasted cashews and jasmine rice. We love to finish it off with vegan mango ice cream.
The ingredients for our mango chicken curry
You can get the ingredients for our juicy chicken mango curry in any well-stocked supermarket or online. We have used the diverse Asian online range from Rila – the pleasure explorers.
- mango is available in supermarkets all year round. Make sure your mango is ripe and nice and firm. You can tell that it is ripe when the flesh under the skin gives slightly when you press it with your finger.
- Chicken breast: You can also replace the tender meat with shrimp. A vegan and protein-rich alternative is chickpeas or tofu. (Sweet) potatoes, like in our vegan curry, or pumpkin are also excellent.
- Curry paste: We opted for a mild yellow curry paste. If you like it a little spicier, you can of course also go for the spicier red curry paste.
- Coconut milk is a preparation made from finely grated fresh fruit pulp and water. It gives our chicken mango curry its wonderful creaminess.
- Mung bean sprouts You can get them fresh or canned. Alternatives are soy or bamboo shoots.
- Kaffir lime leaves are characterized by their slightly bitter, fresh and lemony aroma. You can use fresh or dried leaves. You can get the leaves in any Asian supermarket. In many supermarkets you can find them in the spices section.
