Recipe 1

I've always loved cooking though not all the time and lately I've become bored with cooking the same things over and over again so I've been thinking of trying new dishes.

Here is the first Recipe I'd like to try from here

Thai Massaman Chicken
Adapted from All Recipes


Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons curry paste
1 (3/4 inch thick) slice ginger, minced
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat – cubed
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons tamarind paste*
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup cashews
1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar


Directions:

Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in curry paste and minced ginger; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in the cubed chicken, and cook until the pieces turn white on the outside, about 3 minutes.

Stir in brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, peanut butter and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Add the lime juice and cashews and cook for an additional 5 minutes before serving.


Serving suggestions - serve with white rice and sliced avocado.


*If you have trouble finding tamarind paste, you can substitute with 1/4 cup fresh orange juice and 2 tsp of lime juice.
