by Jesi LopezI made this curry in a pot on the stove and it came out delicious. I used leftover meat from a roast chicken dinner but any cooked chicken pieces will work.

Ingredients

1 onion, diced
-
½ head cauliflower, roughly chopped

2 bell peppers (I used a red and a green one), chopped

1 pint mushrooms, sliced
-
2 large or 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
-
⅓ cup flour

2 tablespoon curry (adjust the amount according to personal taste
-
2 cans coconut milk

1 whole roasted chicken, shredded OR 4 cups of *uncooked chicken, cubed (see recipe note).
-
Salt & Black pepper, to taste
-
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
Directions
In a large pot, over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook until softened. Note: If using raw chicken, sautè the cubed chicken first and then add onions and cook until onions soften.
Add cauliflower, peppers, mushrooms, and carrots to pot and sauté until just beginning to soften. Reduce heat to low and cover with pot lid to cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the pot lid and sprinkle flour, salt, pepper, and curry powder over vegetables. Stir to combine until veggies are coated.
Pour coconut milk into the pot and stir well. At this point, you can also adjust the amount of curry, along with the salt & pepper, until it is to your liking.
Add chicken to the pot and stir. Simmer curry for a few minutes until chicken is heated.
Serve the curry with rice and topped with chopped cilantro (if desired).
Enjoy 🖤
