A delightful coastal-style dish, this Coconut Chicken Curry with Lemon Rice has the perfect harmony of creamy, spicy, and citrus flavours. The curry gets its velvety texture and mild sweetness from gently simmered coconut milk, while the crispness and brightness come from the lemon rice. This hearty, comforting combination makes it ideal for both weeknight and weekend meals.
Heat some oil in a pan, then add onions, green chillies, curry leaves, and curry powder. Cook, stirring occasionally. Toss in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and let them simmer until tender. Season with salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and lime juice. Simmer for 30 seconds.
