Recipe Instructions:
- Begin by sautéing the finely chopped onion and minced garlic cloves in a bit of oil until they turn soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors into the air and setting the foundation for the rich flavors of the curry to come.
- Next, add the cubed chicken breast to the pan and continue cooking until the chicken pieces are lightly browned, approximately 3 minutes, infusing them with a golden hue and sealing in their succulent juices.
- Now, introduce the star ingredient of this dish: the Thai red curry paste. Stir it into the chicken and onion mixture, allowing its vibrant spices to awaken your senses and transport you to the bustling streets of Thailand. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the creamed coconut in boiling water, creating a luscious coconut broth that will serve as the base for our curry. Pour this mixture into the pan, enveloping the chicken and spices in a velvety cocoon of coconut goodness.
- Add in the diced potatoes and the tomato puree, infusing the curry with heartiness and depth of flavor. These humble ingredients will soak up the aromatic curry sauce, becoming tender morsels of delight with each spoonful.
- Cover the pan and allow the curry to simmer gently for 25 minutes, during which time the flavors will meld together, creating a symphony of taste that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.
- After the allotted time has passed, uncover the pan and stir in the low-fat plain yogurt and freshly chopped coriander, adding a touch of creaminess and brightness to the curry, while the fragrant coriander lends a burst of freshness that elevates the dish to new heights.
- While the curry is simmering, prepare the chilled banana topping by chopping the bananas into bite-sized pieces and mixing them with the juice and zest of the limes. This refreshing accompaniment will provide a delightful contrast to the spicy curry, balancing its heat with a cool, fruity sweetness.
- Once the curry is ready, serve it hot, garnished with a generous spoonful of the chilled banana mixture, allowing the contrasting flavors and textures to dance on your palate and transport you to culinary nirvana.
