Massaman Chicken Curry a la Femina


So what did I serve for my mother for our regular Sunday dinner at my place ? Well, this Sunday it was Massaman Chricken Curry according to the a recipe in the weekly magazine Femina (issue 4/2019).

The changes I made was to use only 400 g chicken breast instead of 500 g kitchen breast, as I could get portions of 400 g kitchen breast in my local supermarket. I also decided to use plain olive oil and plain sugar instead of coconut oil and coconut sugar, as I did not have those ingredients in my kitchen. I cannot see, that to purchase such special ingredients, if you only have to use those for this one dish.

The taste of the final dish is not high in curry strength, which suits my mother excellent, as she is not a fan of spicy food. So if you want more curry flavour, you have to increase the level of curry paste or try another type of curry paste.
