I absolutely love curry. Last night I made this delicious dish using the Quorn brand Chik'n Cutlets and it was so good. Here is my recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion.
- 1 14-ounce can of coconut milk
- 1 stalk of lemongrass finely chopped (you can use frozen if you can't find fresh)
- 1/4 cup of fresh basil cut into chiffonade form (add the last minute of cooking)
- 3 tablespoons of yellow curry powder ( I use the Fresh and Easy Curry Powder but use any brand that you like)
- 4 Thawed Quorn Cutlets sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 large potato cut into 1 inch cubes parboiled for 7-10 minutes
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 tsp of dried chili flakes
- 1 inch portion of fresh ginger finely chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 tsps salt
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp of turmeric
Preparation
- Slice the onion and saute it with the Quorn cutlets in the olive oil.
- As they are sauteing, add your spices and aromatics. (salt, chili flakes, ginger, lemongrass, curry powder, coriander, cumin, garlic, turmeric, and sugar)
- Saute until slightly browned.
- Add the coconut milk and stir.
- Add your water to get it to the desired thickness.
- Add your potatoes and cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- The last minute add in your fresh basil.
- If you feel that the consistency is too thick, you can always add a bit of water.
Serve and enjoy with a scoop of basmati rice!
Note: I made a curry chicken salad today using the leftovers and it was awesome!
how much onion do i use? & what kind? i don't see it in the ingredients. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thank you for checking out my blog! I use one small onion or a half of a medium. Sorry that I left that out!
DeleteI also use just a plain yellow onion. :)
Deletethanks! i made this before i got the message. i used a half an onion. i do have a question about the water. i felt the consistency was perfect before i added the water. i added 1 cup & it never thickened up, it stayed soupy even after simmering for 10 mins & letting sit for even longer. overall is was DELICIOUS! the flavor was perfection! i can't wait to eat the leftovers. & so nice to have another recipe to use with the quorn products. :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you liked it! You are awesome for letting me know some of the issues with the recipe. The only thing I can think of with the consistency is I think maybe it depends on the level of fat in the coconut milk. If you use the full fat version as I do, it always seems to be too thick. I think I will modify the recipe based upon your suggestion to maybe add a bit of water ONLY if it is needed. I really appreciate your feedback. Have a great evening.
Deletei just bought whatever can was on the shelf. it was goya but i didn't even pay attention to the level of fat. i am happy to be able to provide feedback. after i refrigerated the leftovers it thickened up nice & the flavor was even better the following day. a dish i will make again for sure!
