This month's Royal Foodie Joust ingredients are, cardamom, mango and brown sugar.
I know most jousters are thinking along the lines of baked goods, but I'm more pulled to the savory side of life.
Here's what I made:
Sweet Chicken Curry with Mango and Kumquats
1 lb. chicken breast - cubed
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
1 clove garlic - minced
1 small onion - sliced
1/2 cup each red, green and yellow peppers
1/2 cup pineapple bits - drained
1/2 cup small kumquats
1/2 cup diced mango
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon curry powder (the cardamom is in the curry!)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 cups cooked jasmine rice
Stir together flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss chicken cubes in flour mixture and fry in a large heavy pot in batches until lightly browned. Set aside.
In the same pan, cook shallots, green onion, garlic and onion until limp. Do not brown. Add peppers, pineapple, kumquats, mango, stock, curry and brown sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes or until peppers are tender. Stir in reserved chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes. The cornstarch and flour on the chicken will thicken the sauce. Serve over jasmine rice.
Look how pretty this was just after getting it together in the pot:
Oh yummy! Great entry for the joust, the competition is starting to heat up :)

I just love, a fruit or sweet curry, friends find it hard to believe you add coconut and fruit and berries to a curry, but it makes it just so "morish",
ReplyDeletejust give some more fresh tasting food

It may be a nice combination that chicken curry with mango.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI really like your entry as well. Its a lot of fun to see how the ingredients play out in other peoples creations.
I never would have thought of kumquats but seeing your recipe it makes perfect sense~ great pairing!
ReplyDeleteI so love chicken curry, YUM!

ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great, and the dish is so colourful! I'm so much more aware of that lately, and when I make a supper which seems to be all one colour, I can barely stand it! :o)
