Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to rinse the basmati rice thoroughly to remove excess starch.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the curry from burning or sticking to the bottom.
  • For a richer and creamier curry, use full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk.
  • Let the curry simmer on low heat for at least 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become tender.
  • For a milder curry, remove the seeds from the green chilies before chopping them.
