Mango curry chicken

When I lived in China. I remember a delicious dish in a Thai restaurant in ShenZhen. It's called Mango Shrimp. Basically, it's mango with Thai-shrimp as well as the sweet mango sauce.

After trying mango, avocado & raspberry salad, I still have one mango left. So I thought about that Thai dish we had in China!

After browsing a long time, I couldn't find the right recipe I want. But I saw another great idea- Mango Curry! So I decide to make my own mango curry with chicken for dinner with guest.

Ingredients you'll need:

1 middle size mango (ripped but still firm. Cut it into one-bite size)

1/2 red pepper (Cut it in long skinny shape as the picture)

1/2 green pepper or other colour pepper (I used orange pepper here, cut it the same size as red peppers)

2 middle size chicken breast (cut in one-bite pieces)

12.5g curry paste brick (My favourite is S&B. The standard package is 100g.)

400ml Coconut milk (1 can)

1 handle full basil leaves

1 tbs size chunk of ginger

3 gloves garlic

2 tsp vegetable oil

Sugar & Fish sauce (Optional)

Steps:

1. Cut the ginger to three pieces.

2. Mashed the ginger pieces & garlic slightly then put it aside for later use.

3. In a large pot, add half can of coconut milk, 1 piece mashed ginger and 1 mashed garlic glove. Cooked with small fire for 5-7mins. Add red and other colour peppers in the pot, put the pot cover on top. Let it boiling with small fire while you do the next step.

4. In a frying pan, add vegetable oil and heat with medium-high fire for 2-3mins. Then add the rest of garlic & ginger, frying it a bit till the smell comes out. Then add chicken, fry it till the meat is 80% cooked.

5. Check the condition of the pot, add curry brick and stir till it's melted. Then add the chicken and the rest of coconut milk till it's boiled and all ingredients are cooked. (let it boiled on small fire for 3-5mins should be ok)

* Use a fork to check if the chicken is done. Notice the timing to avoid pepper over cooked.

If you are not familiar with Asian cooking and worried about to cook the peppers for too long. Suggest you to put the peppers in after step4.

6. Taste it and if you want sweeter, add sugar. If you want it more salty, add some fish sauce or salt.

7. Spread the basil leaves on top of the curry while serving.
