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

Scale
  • 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

  1. Warm the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the onion and garlic are soft, about 4 minutes.
  2. Cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the chicken is browned. At this moment, the chicken will not be ready.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, curry powder, and ginger for 1 minute to coat the chicken.
  4. Bring the carrots, peas, red peppers, and coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
  5. 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.
