Chicken, curry spices, potatoes and coconut milk give this dish an aromatic flavor you'll really enjoy. Enjoy this over basmati rice for a complete meal (or great with roti). To make this light I use skinless chicken and I remove all fat. I buy Light Coconut Milk from Trader Joe's, it's is half the points of regular coconut milk. I am starting to see other brands carry it as well.

Anonymous said... I have been looking for a good chicken curry with coconut milk recipe, and girl, you have done it again!You are the one I turn to when I need a new tasty WW meal! I am thinking of lightening it up by trying chicken breast, and butternut squash, instead of potato. I have so much squash, and I need some new ideas to do with it. wish me luck!

Let me know how it comes out! @ragamuffin- just let it cook a little longer, it will reduce and thicken. 3/28/10 3:48 PM First of all, I love your site, so thank you! I was wondering, I'm making this recipe now, and I'm finding that with the 3/4 cup of water it made my dish a little watery. Is there anyway to thicken the sauce a bit? 3/28/10 10:26 AM

Anonymous said... I tried this. I'm not a big fan of cumin or cilantro. So I took them out and added a chicken stock cube instead and it is one of my FAVOURITE curry recipes :) Thanks so much for it. Love it :) 6/1/10 10:31 AM

Anonymous said... This was SO good & easy to make.. I love one-pan/pot meals. I added 2 potatoes to make it a bit more filling for my kids & DH & since we all love cilantro, I added closer to a 1/2 cup! lol We are big fans of Indian food/curry so this was an instant winner for us. Thanks for another great recipe! 7/8/10 1:25 PM

Anonymous said... I just made it and while it is spicy (my nose is running) its bland if that makes any sense. The chicken is seasoned well, but the sauce is bland. I couldn't find the masala so I made my own and didn't use cilantro because I didn't have any. Any suggestions on what may have happened, other than the subs I made? 2/23/11 12:59 AM Lighter Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Leigh said... I made this tonight and used chicken breast tenders cut into large bites. It was delicious - very comforting and filling. I did have to add salt a couple of times in the cooking process, but I find that with any recipe that uses coconut milk. I thought the spices were just perfect - wonderful flavor! I figured points plus to be about the same, and for 4 servings just over 6 points (with breast meat) - but don't take my word for it! 3/1/11 10:45 PM

Skinny Chicken Parmesan Lynne said... Made this recipe tonight and it was awesome!! Even my son liked it. I used a "mild curry" as that's all I had plus I just used regular cumin as I didn't have any "roasted." I also didn't add the potato as I'm watching carbs, but didn't miss it at all. I also had to substitute a small can of diced tomatoes since I didn't have any fresh. Served it over basmanti rice. This is another keeper!! Thanks Gina! 5/5/11 9:42 PM

Black Bean Salad

Ariana said... I made this last night and it was delicious!! Even my father, who fancies himself a food critic and never likes anything, said it was good! I used mild curry and tikki masala instead of garam masala because that's all my supermarket had. It was super tasty but not at all spicy, so I may pick up a stronger curry for next time. I'll also keep my eyes open for garam masala so I can try the exact recipe. I might add a few raisins in the mix next time for some extra sweetness too! Thanks for the great recipe and I can't wait to try another! Here's my blog post chronicling my curry adventure :)

As for this recipe, if I swapped out the 6 chicken thighs for 4 chicken breasts, would the points still be the same? I plan on making this for dinner tonight and can't wait to try it.

Lynda said... Of all places I found the masala at Uncle Giuseppe's (an Italian store for those of you who can't tell) I've been told that Pathmark carriers it and McCormick makes it as well but i have only seen it in those little recipe cards that have all of the spices measured out already for Curry 8/30/11 8:56 PM
