How to Make Chicken In Tomato And Coconut Sauce
- Soak 1 cup shredded coconut in 1 cup hot water for 10-15 minutes.
- Puree the soaked coconut, its water, 1/2 cup chopped coriander, 2-3 finely chopped green chilies, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 inch grated ginger in a blender until completely smooth.
- In a large (at least 12-inch) saucepan, combine 2 cups passata, 1.5 lbs of 1-inch chicken pieces, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Cook over medium heat.
- Once the passata begins to bubble, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the blended coconut mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in 1/2 cup half-and-half (or heavy cream). Cook for 1 minute more, allowing the sauce to come together. Serve immediately with rice and a fresh salad.
