Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute until chicken is golden brown on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes (it doesn’t need to be cooked all the way through but will finish cooking in the liquid). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Return pan to heat.
- Add butter to hot pan. When melted, add ginger, garlic and spice mix and saute until fragrant, ~2 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine with seasonings. Add stock, cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until sweet potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add coconut milk, chicken and peas to the pan and continue cooking until everything is heated through.
- Season curry with lime juice, salt, pepper and spices (remember different spices and stock have varying tastes, so you may need to adjust). Enjoy!
