Quantities are estimated based on standard recipes for your convenience. The actual ingredients used in this video are accurate.
coconut milk
🥗Healthier: light coconut milk
💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract
Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.
chicken
🥗Healthier: tofu
💰Cheaper: chicken thighs
Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while thighs are more economical than breasts.
curry powder
🥗Healthier: homemade spice blend
💰Cheaper: individual spices
Homemade blends can be healthier and cheaper.
green chilies
🥗Healthier: bell peppers
💰Cheaper: jalapeños
Bell peppers add sweetness without heat, while jalapeños are often less expensive.
Toast curry leaves in a dry pan until they start to pop, then cool and blitz in a spice grinder to make curry powder.
Heat coconut oil in a wok on high heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about a few minutes.
Add equal measures of minced garlic and ginger, along with two sliced green chilies, and fry for 30 seconds.
Stir in chili powder, turmeric, paprika, Sri Lankan curry powder, cumin, and cinnamon; cook for 30 seconds more.
Add chicken breast pieces and cook until the pink is gone on the outside.
If the chicken and spices stick, add a little water to loosen and scrape the bottom.
Pour in light coconut milk and add salt and tomato puree; stir well.
Simmer on high heat for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime before serving.
