Mango Chicken Curry

I learned the mango chicken curry recipe from my grandmother. I remember how she used to cook it when we visited her place. The aroma of the curry would waft through the entire house and we would wait impatiently sitting right beside her in the kitchen only. 

Personally I like to cook this recipe for dinner and side it up with rice. The spoonful bites of rice soaked with the curry is delightful and mouth watering. If you like butter chicken you would surely love this one too. 

The rich and creamy bites of mango chicken curry is something you don’t want to miss out on. The best part of this recipe is that it’s rich in vitamins, has inflammatory properties and provides a great source of protein as well.

Just reading out the recipe won’t work, try it out once and you will love this creamy and flavourful meal.

Equipments Required

  • Mixing Bowls: For marinating chicken and preparing other ingredients.
  • Large Skillet or Saucepan: A deep pan is best for cooking the curry evenly.
  • Spatula: For stirring the curry while it cooks so it doesn’t stick or burn.
  • Blender: To turn the fresh mangoes into a smooth puree.
  • Chopping board and a Knife: Use a sharp knife to chop chicken, onions and other ingredients safely,
  • Lid for the pan: To cover the curry while it simmers and lets the flavors develop.
  • Grater: It’s optional but you can keep it handy in casse you are adding fresh ginger or garlic.
  • Serving Bowl: Serve the mango chicken curry in your favourite bowl once it is ready.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • Make sure the onions turn golden before adding other ingredients as it builds base flavour for the curry.
  • Make sure the mangoes are sweet and fragrant, not soft. It gives rich flavour to the curry without making it overly mushy or watery.
  • If your curry turns too sweet add a squeeze of lemon juice to balance the flavours.
  • If you add mangoes too early it can lose its sweetness. Let the chicken cook halfway first and then add mangoes to it.
  • Let the curry cook on low heat after adding coconut milk so that all the flavours come together nicely.
  • Keep stirring in between so that the curry does not stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

  • Vegetarian Diet: You can replace the chicken with tofu, cottage cheese or even boiled potatoes. You can add different vegetables like carrots, peas, and green beans for extra taste.
  • Low-Carb Diet: Reduce the amount of mangoes and skip if using any added sugar. Use grilled chicken and serve it with steamed vegetables instead of bread or rice.

Storing This Recipe

Refrigeration: You can keep the curry in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Try to keep it in an airtight container as it locks in the flavours.

Reheating: You need to reheat the leftovers before consuming again. You can heat it gently in a pan and keep stirring until its creamy texture is back. You can add some water or a spoon of coconut milt if it feels too thick.

What To Serve With This Recipe 

Personally I love pairing Mango Chicken Curry with Crispy Rice. For those cutting down on carbs, Cauliflower Rice is a great option. Rice is light, fluffy and soaks up the curry flavours nicely. 

You can also eat it with different Breads as they help scoop up the curry and are great for dipping. A simple salad with sliced cucumber, onions and squeezed lemon can also add crunch and freshness to your meal.

Top Tips

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • While making this recipe, I always use dry chicken. Wet chicken will not be marinated properly; hence, it will compromise the flavors of the dish.
  • Another tip is to avoid using short-grain rice for this recipe. Short-grain rice results in sticky, clumpy rice, which is not favorable for this recipe.
  • When cutting the chicken, I try to cut it into equal sizes. If not, the baking time will be altered, which can result in a combination of raw and overcooked chicken.
  • To boost the flavors, I like to leave my marinated chicken in the refrigerator for 2 hours. You can also leave it overnight for best results.
  • If you are thinking of using regular water to make the rice, then don’t. Chicken broth adds a good taste to the rice, which regular water won’t.
  • Layering smartly for this dish is key. You should always add rice at the bottom, then chicken on top for everything to be cooked properly.
  • If you enjoy rice and chicken casserole recipes, then you can also layer this recipe with cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking. Also, garnish it with parsley or chives for a boost of flavors.

FAQs About Chef John Chicken Rice Recipe

  • Cut chicken fillet evenly so you are not stuck with undercooked chunks.

Being Asian, rice recipes are my staple, but whenever I want something different and healthy, this dish is my main option.

Easy Cauliflower Fried Rice

Growing up, we rarely had different kinds of rice dishes at our home. Everybody loved the usual white rice. The love for it was so profound that although the side dishes changed, the main staple, i.e. rice, remained the same.

However, one day, being bored with it, I asked my mother to make something new, and that is when we were introduced to this dish. I was surprised but also mesmerised by the unique textures and flavors. From that day, Cauliflower Fried Rice has been everybody’s favourite, and since I am sharing this recipe you know I still feel the same about it.

This dish is simple, healthy, time-efficient, and cost-effective as well. Now that I am an adult and make my food myself, these food-related terms are my favorite.

Another reason why I love this recipe is that you can use leftover ham and bacon, making it perfect for clearing out the fridge. So, if you want to try something new and give yourself a healthy break, then this recipe is a must-try for you.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • When I make Cauliflower Fried Rice in large quantities, I like to do it in batches. Overcrowding the pan with too much food at once can make the rice soggy by generating too much steam.
  • I have kept it simple, but you can also add shrimp, tofu, chicken, or more veggies while making this recipe.
  • If you’re running low on time, you can use a blender or mixer to make the cauliflower rice instead of scraping it with a knife. Just remove the chunks from the cauliflower and add it to the blender.
  • A cooking tip that I follow to ensure that the Cauliflower Fried Rice is fluffy and not soggy is to uncover the pan. If you cover it, then the steam is held in the pan, which makes your rice soggy.
  • To keep this recipe authentic, I avoid using store-bought cauliflower rice. I go for authentic cauliflower rice by scraping off the cauliflower.
  • While making Cauliflower Fried Rice, if you find that your rice is drying out, you can add a little bit of broth to it. I prefer using chicken or vegetable stock for this recipe.
  • Since this is a quick recipe, you have to be very fast, or else the ingredients can burn.

We didn’t have fancy ingredients, but somehow when he ladled that chunky, smoky stew into our bowls, it felt like a five-star meal. The beans were sweet and rich, and the meat was infused with flavors that tasted delicious. 

I can still remember us passing around a single bottle of hot sauce, shivering under blankets, and eating a pot of stew like never before. The night honestly taught me that great food isn’t about perfection; it’s about warmth, intention, and infusion of love and flavors at the same time. 

In the rustic glory, Cowboy Stew became our favorite dish, and since then, I have attempted to make it many times. Trust me, once you give it a try with just the basic ingredients and steps, you’ll be hooked. To get started, review the details I have mentioned below. You can also note down the expert tips to ensure you achieve all the flavors correctly. 

Equipment Required 

  • Skillet: I used a skillet to prepare the hearty stew.
  • Ladle: Stir everything using a large ladle.
  • Knife: Chop the veggies using a sharp knife.
  • Measuring Spoons: For adding spices, I always prefer using measuring spoons.

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • Making stew is always about patience, and it’s worth the wait. I prefer to render the bacon slowly because the fat it releases becomes the flavor goldmine. 
  • Secondly, brown the meat in batches to create the foundation of the stew. This will help you achieve umami-rich flavors. 
  • I would also recommend letting the onions and garlic sweat, rather than rushing them. You can also add a pinch of salt to draw out moisture and deepen flavors more quickly.
  • Moving on, when you add the canned tomatoes, add the liquid as well, because it contributes to the depth of flavor.   
  • I always ensure to dice the potatoes evenly so they cook consistently. Uneven chunks of potatoes can lead to a stew where some bites are perfect and others are undercooked and mushy. 
  • Next, to adjust the consistency of the stew, add the broth gently while stirring each time. If the stew is thick, you can adjust the amount of broth accordinly.

Recipe Variation For Different Diets 

  • Low-Sodium: To make the low-sodium version use low-sodium canned beans and tomatoes. You can also choose fresh or homemade sausage with less salt content and season the stew gradually, tasting as you go.
  • Gluten-Free: I prefer using gluten-free sausages and ensure the baked beans and broth are gluten-free. Moreover, skipping the flour and use cornstarch or a gluten-free thickener is important.

Storing and Reheating The Recipe 

Storing 

Let the stew cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze it in portions using freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months.

Reheating

  • On the stove: I reheat the stew in a saucepan over medium heat, adding a splash of broth or water if it’s too thick. Just ensure to stir occasionally until heated through.
  • In the microwave: Transfer a portion to a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely, and heat in 1-minute increments, stirring in between.
  • From frozen: Let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat using either method above.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Cowboy Stew with Baked Beans is hearty on its own, but trust me it pairs wonderfully with simple sides that complement its bold, smoky flavors.

  • Crusty Bread or Cornbread: You can pair your choice of crusty bread or Cornbread with Cowboy Stew with Baked beans. It is a perfect pairing option for soaking up the thick, savory stew.
  • Coleslaw: Another pairing option is crunchy Coleslaw which brings out refreshing contrast to the rich texture.
  • Grilled or Roasted Veggies: A great way to balance the meal with something lighter.
  • Rice or Mashed Potatoes: If you want to stretch the stew further or make it even more filling, try pairing it with rich Mashed Potatoes or Rice.

  • Freezing: When I want to store Honey Bourbon Meatballs for more than five days, I like to freeze them. After allowing the Honey Bourbon Meatballs to cool, I pack them in freezer-friendly bags and freeze them for about 2 months.

Reheating 

  • Skillet: I prefer reheating Honey Bourbon Meatballs in a skillet because it’s more convenient. I start by transferring the leftovers onto a skillet and giving it a nice toss for 10-15 minutes. Once done, you can enjoy it with your favourite servings.
  • Oven: When I want to reheat larger portions of Honey Bourbon Meatballs, I use an oven. I preheat my oven to 350 degrees F, after which I transfer the leftovers to a baking dish. Then I cover it with aluminium foil and heat it for 10 minutes or until they are warm enough. 
  • Microwave: For quick reheating, I use my microwave. However, I always take the precaution of placing the leftovers in a microwave-friendly dish. Then, cover it with a foil and heat it at medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Honey Bourbon Meatballs with Mashed Potatoes is one of my comfort foods. The textures of the mashed potatoes really compliment this dish. Another way to enjoy this is with Mac and Cheese

For my rice lovers, you can enjoy it with Cilantro Rice or cauliflower rice to keep carbs in check. Enjoying it with Noodles also sounds like a great Chinese option. If you are missing veggies, then have it with roasted veggies of your choice. A simple Salad of your choice also works well with this recipe.
