Cooking Creations: Chicken in Pumpkin & Coconut Curry
January 13, 2008
Hello fellow Chefs!
...and those of you who just love to eat and be cooked for...
I know some of you guys like to cook and experiment in the kitchen, so I felt like sharing a new dish I made up today. I am still in my PJs and have been cleaing and didn’t feel like going to the grocery store so I have raided my cabinets again and made something up with the ingredients within, and am actually excited to have dinner tonight! I sauteed chicken cut up in large bite-sized pieces with olive oil, chili oil, onion, garlic and ginger. Then I added diced tomatoes in lime juice and cilantro, Thai fish sauce, a can of pumpkin, a can of coconut milk and some curry powder. I threw in a bit of Chana Dal, a yellow lentil, for health (great for fiber and protein) and to thicken it up a bit. It is simmering now and I will serve it with fresh steamed jasmine rice which is in the rice cooker steaming away! I will also have a spinach salad. I love raw baby spinach! If I planned to cook it again I would have coconut cream instead of milk and fresh cilantro and scallions, but I think it is really quite good for grabbing stuff out of the cabinets! Feel free to try it at home! Hope you are all well and enjoyed your weekend.
Big Hug, Christine
