Ingredients: (for 3-4 servings)

• 250 g basmati rice
• 1 small cauliflower
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 large onion
• 1 chili pepper
• 300 g chicken breast
• 1 lime
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 130 g Madras Indian curry paste or any curry paste you can find or have
• salt + pepper
• a few tablespoons of olive oil
• fresh coriander for serving

Preparation:

Wash, clean, and chop all the vegetables. Break the cauliflower into small florets, slice the onion, dice the bell pepper and tomatoes, and finely chop the chili pepper. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes, and squeeze the juice from the lime.

Cook the rice according to the instructions on the package and set it aside.

In a large wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook until lightly browned. Once they start to get some color, add the sliced onion and sauté together for 2–3 minutes.

Reduce the heat slightly, then add all the chopped vegetables. Stir well and cook for about 4 minutes. Next, add the curry paste, stir to coat everything evenly, and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Pour in the coconut milk, mix well, cover with a lid, and let everything simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is rich and fragrant.

Once the curry is ready, stir in the lime juice and let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then, remove from heat. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

Spoon it over some fluffy rice, and you’ve got yourself a comforting, flavor-packed meal that’s hard to resist!
