How to Make Curried Chicken With Tomatoes And Nuts

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion softens.
  3. Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of red curry paste (adjust to your spice preference). Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  8. Stir the flour mixture into the curry. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  9. Add 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes. Stir until heated through.
  10. Serve hot over steamed rice.
  11. Garnish with 1/2 cup of chopped roasted nuts (cashews, almonds, or peanuts work well).
