Chicken & Almond Milk Curry

We love coconut chicken curry, and this Chicken & Almond Milk Curry is my lightened-up version. The recipe is still rich and features traditional flavors of Indian cuisine but uses almond milk instead of coconut milk. It comes together quickly, and it’s fantastic served over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option and with a dollop of cucumber raita sauce.

Start with the curry paste. Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, and spices in a small food processor and pulse until smooth. Next, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the chicken in batches until golden, then remove and set aside. Then cook the curry paste until fragrant. Stir in the tomato passata, almond milk, cinnamon and chili. Return the chicken back and cook, stirring occasionally, until the curry is thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Finally, sprinkle the curry with chopped almonds and serve hot. Enjoy!

To make the Chicken & Almond Milk Curry, you will need the following ingredients:

In a small food processor, place 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 ½-inch piece sliced ginger, ½ teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon garam masala, and 1 teaspoon salt and process until smooth.
2	Cook chicken	10
In a large heavy-based saucepan or Dutch oven over high heat, heat 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil and add the chicken pieces. Cook, in batches, for 3 minutes per side or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside on a plate.
3	Cook curry paste	2
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the saucepan and add the curry paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes or until fragrant.

Return the chicken to the saucepan and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25–30 minutes, or until the curry is slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
