Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Coconut Curry Chicken is a creamy curry dish with coconut milk and spices. Do try this coconut milk Indian recipe with naan or rice. Here is how to make this soothing curry recipe all in 30 minutes.
I got a big can of coconut milk some days back from the grocery store and almost forgot to use it. Luckily I decided to clean my fridge yesterday and discovered that only 3 days were left for it to pass its expiry date. I have never cooked using coconut milk before, but was always tempted by those yummy looking great recipe of curries all over the net. So I will be dedicating my cooking, to coconut milk for a couple of days for now. This chicken curry | coconut curry | coconut chicken is the first thing I made and trust me, it turned out awesome. We had it with naan, but you can eat it with brown rice or Jasmine Rice as well.

Although coconut milk is often used in seafood dishes, the milk thickens this gravy and helps in absorbing the spices well. Alleppy Fish Curry, Thai Pineapple and Prawn Curry and Mangalorean Chicken Curry with Kori Roti also carry the distinct flavour of coconut but this Coconut Curry Chicken is surely more finger-licking than the two. Anyone who loves curry is sure going to love this curry recipe.

As rich as the red curry, it makes an awesome dinner recipe that you cannot wait to try. So, make it soon! Sharing its recipe:
