Is toasted coconut always sweetened at the factory? No such thing as unsweetened toasted coconut? -
How do I toast flaked coconut please? -
Can this be made with light coconut milk?

This recipe is delicious! I added 1 teaspoon of sugar to the curry sauce, because I like curries a little on the sweet side. My family loved it, and I also made it for a teacher's luncheon at my children's school. Several teachers asked for the recipe. It was so easy to prepare, yet provided a perfect mix of complex flavors. Yum! -
I really enjoyed this dish. I served it over some brown rice. All of the different flavors mingle really well plus the toasted coconut sprinkled on the top was a nice goodie too. The chicken was very tender. It started falling apart when I was dishing it up. -
Very tasty mild curry. I reduced the recipe down for two and used reduced fat coconut milk and it was great and very creamy. I almost wasn't going to add the peas but I'm glad I did as they add the perfect touch of colour and sweetness. I also added about 2 teaspoons of fish sauce and served over rice. Thanks!

Overall it was very good. I substituted low fat coconut milk. Big mistake! It just did not have that yummy coconut flavor I was hoping for. DH loved it, though and I will make it again only this time I'll use the fattening stuff! -
I have made this numerous times but I substitute butternut squash for potatoes and sugar snap peas or sheeled edamame for peas. I cook it down until the butternut squash melts in your mouth. Great for a fall stew.

Much better with double the curry powder and drizzling with sriracha sauce after serving.

I doubled the recipient, added the corn starch slurry to thicken, brown sugar, carrots which added a great color with the peas and a lot more curry. On the side I had chutney, toasted coconut, toasted almonds, currents, and hot sauce. It was a hit and good for my large crowd.
-
We like a more gravy-like sauce, so I added a corn starch slurry in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. It thickened up just right. Made this twice now. Will make it again.

This is so good! I changed it up a bit to make it even easier and fit with what we eat. I used a 3# bag of frozen boneless skinless chicken breast, 3# of frozen green beans instead of peas, 3 sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, omitted the chicken broth, and at least doubled everything else. I threw it all in the crock pot in the morning and by dinner it was delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
