What is Coconut Chicken Curry?

Malabar Chicken Curry is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood. My mom would make this dish on special occasions, and I would always look forward to it. The curry is made with chicken that is cooked in coconut oil and curry leaves, followed by mustard seeds. It's then simmered in a mixture of coconut milk and yogurt until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. The result is an aromatic and flavorful curry that is absolutely delicious.

    Expert Tips

    1) Madras curry powder is a blend of spices used to make the popular Indian dish. The ingredients for madras curry powder vary depending on who you ask but typically include chili powder, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, and turmeric. While you can find madras curry powder at most grocery stores these days, it's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.

    2) To make madras curry powder, simply combine all of the spices in a bowl and mix well. If you're using fresh spices, you'll want to toast them first in a dry skillet over medium heat until they're fragrant. This helps to bring out their flavor and makes them easier to grind. Once the spices are toasted, let them cool before grinding them into a powder using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.

    3) Once your madras curry powder is ready, it can be used in any number of dishes. Try it in this easy chicken curry recipe, or use it as a rub for grilled meats or vegetables. It's also a great way to add flavor to soups, stews, and sauces.
