Mango coconut chicken and tofu curry

Posted by petra08 on June 10, 2015 · 12 Comments 

Last week we were promised a heatwave this week. I am not sure where it went but instead we have gale force winds and pouring rain. I can hear the wind blowing through the front door and the rain smattering on the windows. The weather has an impact on what I want to eat and as the rain started last night so I got some chicken thighs out from the freezer that I had placed there for a rainy day like this. I had a ripe mango and decided to make a curry.

 

The curry powder I used was the one that Julianna, Foodie on Board posted in one of her blogs. If you haven’t seen her blog have a look it is full of the most delicious sounding foods, sweet and savoury! Here is the link to the curry powder, I have made several batches of it already and love it.

 

I have a herb, edible that smells like curry. I have lost the little sign with the name of the plant so I call it my curry herb. I chopped some sprigs in to the curry, it smells more of curry than it tastes, I have to admit.

 

 

I boiled some rice to go with the curry, it was ok but I never manage to make beautifully fluffy rice, this was no exception, it was a little on the heavy side but it still tasted  good.
