Description

This coconut and peanut chicken is an exotic and flavorful dish, perfect for a special dinner or festive occasion. The combination of coconut milk with toasted peanuts creates a creamy and enveloping sauce, while the green chili adds a spicy touch that enhances the taste of the chicken. I often prepare it when I want to impress my guests with an original and tasty dish. The preparation takes a little time, but the end result is truly exceptional. Serve it with basmati rice for a complete and satisfying meal!

Ingredients (11 ingredients)

  • 1 piece Chicken
  • 400 ml Coconut milk
  • 150 g Toasted peanuts
  • 4 piece Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 2 piece Onions
  • 3 piece Green chili
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Black pepper
  • 4 tbsp Peanut oil
  • 250 ml Water

Preparation (14 steps)

1

Preparation of the onions

Two medium onions peeled and cut into thin rounds. Set aside.

2

Blanch the tomatoes

Put water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Immerse the tomatoes to blanch them. Remove, peel and remove the seeds.

3

Chop the tomatoes

Tomato pulp chopped with a knife or blended and set aside. To speed up this step you can use ready-made tomato puree.

4

Chili preparation

Wash three chilies. Set aside one whole and finely chop the other two after removing the seeds. This is an optional ingredient: if you don't like strong flavors, use only half a chopped chili or do without.

5

Cut the chicken

Cut a chicken into quarters and get two more or less equal pieces from each quarter.

6

Wash and dry the chicken

Wash them under running water and dry them with a clean cloth or kitchen paper.

7

Season the chicken

Generously season the pieces of chicken with salt and black pepper on all sides.

8

Brown the chicken in a pan

Put 3 or 4 tablespoons of peanut oil in a saucepan and heat it up. Add the chicken halves and brown them skin side down, over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. When they are golden brown on one side, turn them over and brown them on the other as well.
