Chicken curry is one of those super quick-to-make recipes, something you can easily have done in 30 minutes or less. Even I, a cook who takes forever in the kitchen, can whip this dish out fairly quickly. It makes for a fast tasty lunch on those busy work days, or a quick dinner when you’re really in the mood to plop down in front of the television with the latest release. You’re probably already familiar with the ghost pepper, but if you’re not, beware. It is consider a “superhot” chili pepper, over a million Scoville Heat Units, so yes, this will truly spice up your meal. Learn more about superhot chili peppers here, along with a list of the hottest peppers in the world. Or, you can omit the ghost pepper and add in other chili peppers instead that are more suited to your heat preference. For me, personally, I want the heat! Bring on the ghost peppers. Let’s talk about how we make this recipe, shall we? Add your chopped chicken along with chopped jalapenos, ghost peppers and onion. Cook them down about 5 minutes, until the peppers and onions have softened and the chicken is cooked mostly through. It’s a good idea to cook in a well-ventilated room with ghost peppers. Add in the ginger powder, curry powder and paprika. Give it a stir. Stir in the red curry paste and cook it for a minute. Next, add your coconut milk and stir. Bring to a quick boil and reduce the heat. Simmer about 15 minutes or more to let the flavors develop, and the chicken to cook through. Top with extra green onions, parsley or cilantro, and lime slices or wedges. If it gets TOO spicy, serve it alongside this Traditional Indian Raita recipe, which is made from spiced yogurt. It has a nice cooling effect.
