Our family loves curries - so this Thermomix Coconut Chicken Curry Recipe is always a roaring success at dinner time. I really think the secret to this curry is using my ThermoFun Curry Blend which is just so much more flavoursome than the commercial curry powder.
This recipe was inspired from a magazine I read about 6 months ago that was all about curries, so I have a few more up my sleeve to try. YUM!
Does your family love a hot and spicy curry or a mild curry?

Delicious recipe - and so easy! Mostly all gobbled up with tiny bit over for the next day !
Jenny says
Ok so my boys n hubby all hate coconut I had tried with evaporated milk but it always seemed to runny. Lately I've been doing curries with yogurt so I tried that tonight with this recipe n it worked perfectly n no grumbles from the boys. Lol!☺ Thanks love how I can adjust these recipes n they still work.
thermofun says
Thanks Jenny - great to hear it worked well with yoghurt! Thanks for letting us know. :)
Tania says
What a delicious curry! I'm so happy it makes a generous serve...means I can have it for dinner tomorrow again?. I like to keep a little crunch to my snow peas so I put them in the bottom of the thermoserver and poured the chicken curry on top of them. While my rice steamed, the snow peas had a chance to soften a little with the heat of the curry. Yum!
thermofun says
Thank you Tania I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Great idea with the snow peas just being added to the Thermoserver. I too like mine with a bit of crunch. :)
Joanne T Ferguson says
I ABSOLUTELY love this recipe and did have intentions of putting some in the freezer, but that never happened as scoffed the lot! lol
As I like my chili thick and strong, I made your homemade coconut cream (YUM!) and used 120 grams of green curry paste and 350 grams coconut cream! YUM YUM YUM and would highlight recommend the recipe!
Carol Di Pietrantonio says
Could this be frozen and reheated successfully?
thermofun says
Yes it freezes very well Carol. :)
Nicole Carter says
The whole family including Miss A 9 years and Mstr B 6 years loved this. Homemade coconut cream was really quick and easy and tasted just like a can of coconut cream. Thanks Leonie.
thermofun says
Thanks Nicole - great to hear! :)
Rebecca says
Nice mild curry for kids to enjoy. Next time might try adding bit of curry powder. Did use garam masala instead of your spice mix.
Nicola Bloedel says
Love this recipe, so easy and delicious!
Sarina Jennings says
Oh and I used red capsicum, potato's, carrot PLUS Snow Peas (Just curry, a touch cumin instead of garam masala and a touch of turmeric)
thermofun says
Great ideas to add Sarina. Pleased you all enjoyed it! :)
Sarina Jennings says
Hi there.... tried this today as I wanted to convert a very similar dish I would normally cook on the stove to the thermomix and found this one to be simple and relative. It was absolutely delicious and chicken tender. I did not use the tomatoes however as I like the taste of the coconut to come through. It was a hit with all of us!! Tasty without being too Spicy. If you like it hot just add fresh chilli and fresh coriander as I did directly on my dish !!!
Thank you !! The vegi's were perfectly cooked.. Will definitely use again (Y)
Lisa says
Awesome, thanks so much!!

Mel says
awsome :) thanks so much x
Emma says
Sounds delicious… you could also grate the ginger in the Thermo bowl before you start. I hate grating ginger! Do you find the chicken sometimes gets stuck in the blades?
thermofun says
Thank you for pointing out that I had "grated" ginger in the list of ingredients. I have now amended the recipe - as the TM chops it up in the first step with the garlic etc. Yes the chicken can get stuck on the blades which can be annoying. Make sure you cut the chicken into big cubes too - so the chicken doesn't fall apart too much.
Hayley T says
Loved this. Made it as per your recipe but added 1tsp of curry powder.
Perfect. Hit with the kids and adults. Even baby had a little bit :-)
Thanks. Will be doing this one again.
thermofun says
Glad that your family enjoyed it Hayley! It's always great to see families enjoying meals.
Tania Lee says
Tried this curry for the first time tonight and got a thumbs up from all the family. Very flavoursome yet mild, so kid friendly. Chop up a small chilli in your serve if you like it spiced up a bit.
S says
Thanks, I'm new to thermomixing :)
This tasted a bit like an English curry to me, a similar taste to my grandmothers curried eggs so took me back which was nice but not a fave for me.
However was great to try something I haven't tried yet and I know I can use it as a base but try using different spices to get the flavour I'm after.
In fairness I have to mention that I hate coriander so I omitted it from the recipe so that probably totally altered the taste.
If you enjoy a mild curry then this could be great for you I think.
Lisa says
To make the coconut cream, do you soak desicated coconut or coconut from the shell? If from the shell do you remove the brown bit that sticks to the coconut when removed from shell. Many thanks.
thermofun says
Hi Lisa, I use desiccated coconut to do my coconut cream and milk.
Lisa says
Great, that makes it so much easier. Than you.
thermofun says
My pleasure Lisa :)
Lynne says
Hi Leonie, thanks for this recipe which I tried tonight. I found I had to divide in half as there was too much in the bowl and as I like my veges cooked I had to take them out and microwave. Next time I will try half quantities as I am only feeding myself and there is heaps there.
Very tasty :)
thermofun says
It freezes well too Lynne if you do have too much to get through yourself.
Kerry says
This was so easy to make. Really enjoyed the flavor. (Not sure where you added the stock). Will be adding this to my favourites. :)
thermofun says
oh thank you sooo much Kerry for alerting me to the fact I left the stock out of the method! ooops! I have now just updated the recipe to say to put it in at the same time as the chicken. I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed it! :)
Fran says
What a pleasant surprise! I don't like coriander or ginger but loved this.
I made it low fodmap / fructose friendly by leaving out the onion and garlic and using garlic infused oil instead of EVOO. I also used green beans instead of snow peas. I used 4 carrots and 1 large stalk of celery. I used 1/2 Tbsp curry and 1 Tbsp garam marsala.
The only changes I will try next time is parsley instead of coriander (yeah I know, I'm nuts) and maybe a bit of cornflower to thicken the sauce a bit.
YUMMO!! Thanks!
Fran says
Gotta love typing on an iphone. Cornflower? Bahaha
thermofun says
Great ideas Fran! Yes you can throw any veges you have on hand in I reckon.
vicky says
We love curries, well I love curries, my children 4 and 7 still are not allowed to these flavors, here in Spain we don´t cook spicy, but I love spicy food, so I like both hot and medium, Thanks for the recipe!!!
