Quick yellow curry

I was in a hurry, and had a strong desire for curry, so here is a fast and easy recipe:

Stir-fry a diced chicken breast in neutral oil

Put the chicken aside, then stir-fry half a chopped onion, and other vegetables of your choice. I used mini corn cobs and celery. Bamboo shoots would be a better choice.

Add 1 can of coconut milk

Add a few tablespoons of curry powder (I've never tried the paste, but it is probably better)

Add a pinch of MSG, a pinch of cayenne, basil, the cooked chicken, and simmer for 10 minutes. Water can be added if you prefer a lighter consistency. I tried using "light" coconut milk, and it was not good. I think normal coconut milk mixed with water would be a better choice.

Serve over rice!




Coconut milk is extremely fatty, so I decided to try Trader Joe's light coconut milk. I don't like it. It seems like they replaced the fat with some other strange thickening agent that is not pleasant. I think using regular coconut milk mixed with water would be a better choice.
