Description
A delightful way to expose your kid to the rich and earthy flavor of curry! This mild curry chicken and veggie meal is suitable for toddlers as well as adults.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 white onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 lb chicken breasts cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp mild curry powder
- 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 medium carrot peeled and cut into coins or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 red pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 – 14 oz can of full fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the onion and garlic are soft, about 4 minutes.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the chicken is browned. At this moment, the chicken will not be ready.
- Stir in the tomato paste, curry powder, and ginger for 1 minute to coat the chicken.
- Bring the carrots, peas, red peppers, and coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving over brown rice.
Notes
Age: may serve for up to a year. Make sure to cut the vegetables and poultry into little bite-size pieces for toddlers.
Rice Variations: You can use brown rice, white rice, or cauliflower rice in this dish. Thin rice noodles might also be an interesting addition to this dish.
Veggie Options: In this dish, you can use whichever vegetables your family prefers – broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas, edamame, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and so on.
Family Dinner: If you’re making this for the whole family, I recommend doubling (or tripling) the recipe so you have plenty for everyone and some leftovers.
