FAQ for

Raisukaree Recipe

What ingredients are used in chicken raisukaree curry?

This chicken raisukaree curry uses chicken breast (or tofu), coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and fresh vegetables including red pepper, mangetout, onion, garlic, ginger and red chillies, served with jasmine rice and garnished with spring onions and coriander.

How to cook chicken curry with coconut milk at home?

Learn how to cook chicken curry with coconut milk by first sautéing chicken until golden, then cooking onions, garlic, ginger and chillies before adding spices. Stir in vegetables and coconut milk, simmer until thickened, then return the chicken to the sauce with honey, soy sauce and lime juice for a creamy, aromatic curry.

What makes a good coconut curry sauce?

A good coconut curry sauce balances creaminess from coconut milk with aromatics (garlic, ginger, chillies) and spices like curry powder and turmeric. The addition of soy sauce adds umami depth, while honey provides sweetness and lime juice brings essential acidity to balance the rich flavours.

Can I make this curry recipe vegetarian?

Yes, this curry recipe can easily be made vegetarian by substituting the chicken with tofu, as mentioned in the ingredients list. Simply cut firm tofu into bite-sized pieces and follow the same cooking instructions, frying until golden on all sides (about 4 minutes) before setting aside.

What's the best way to thicken a coconut milk curry?

The best way to thicken a coconut milk curry is to simmer it uncovered, allowing some liquid to evaporate. In this recipe, a 5-minute simmer reduces the sauce to coat the back of a spoon while remaining pourable. For extra thickness, you could add a cornflour slurry if needed.
