    • 1/3 cup of grated English cucumber with skin (about 10 cm)
    • 1 teaspoon of ground coriander seeds

    • Chicken breast strips or cubes, chicken thighs, chicken meatballs or slices, potatoes, cheese curds or cubed paneer cheese, sweet corn, baby tomatoes, sliced onions.
  • Preparation

    • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat and sauté the tomato paste and Indian red curry paste for 1-2 minutes.
    • Add chicken broth and coconut milk, bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
    • Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.
    • Arrange the ingredients on serving plates.

    A few tips

    • Naan breads, rice or delicious crispy papadums as an accompaniment will transform your meal into a feast worthy of a Maharaja!
    • To get the right flavour profile for this recipe, it’s important to use an Indian red curry, not a Thai one. This is sold in a jar that you can find in the Asian foods department of most major grocery stores in the region.
    • Are your family members not huge fans of spicy foods? Simply reduce the amount of red curry paste a little, and replace it with an equivalent amount of tomato paste.
