Heidi..What do I make with coconut milk?

[Momtofour]

I checked out coconut milk in the store today and saw that it is low carb, so I bought it. I know I have read about you cooking with it. Want to share a favorite recipe? What about a curry recipe? I have never tried either.

If you have time. I want to try some new foods.

I use coconut milk for either Thai meatballs (the sauce) or a Thai soup. Both are spicy though so I dunno if they'll help you.

You asked me for a curry recipe I have tears of joy


Lyssie post your recipes!!! please ...honey are you my daughter in another life or what????

this is a quick everyday "fusion" curry I make a lot ..if you have an Indian market near by ask the people there for some good madras curry they will guide you


1 package boneless chicken breasts or thighs cut into bite sized pieces (I cut up a whole chicken and use that) you can also use prawns for this recipe!
1 onion finely chopped
1/4 cup good madras Curry Powder
2 Teaspoon Chilli Powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 minced habanero pepper
6 Cloves Crushed Garlic
2 inches Root Ginger grated
1 packet of Sazon seasoning (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 can coconut milk
2 large red bell peppers sliced into strips
salt to taste I sometimes add a dash of soy sauce
1 bunch of cilantro chopped

Put the chicken into a ziploc bag pour the can of coconut milk over it and 1/2 the curry powder and mix well set aside while you prepare the rest of the food

saute the onions, garlic, ginger in the oil slowly until almost browned the longer the slower the saute ...the sweeter and the better
toss in the spices everything but the cilantro to the saute stir around until the smell drives you wild!!!
add the bell pepper and saute for a min then add the chicken stir around to mix it well put the lid on the pot and let it cook until just done ....taste for salt and add cilantro at the last minute...

serve in lettuce leave wraps or if you are eating grains it is wonderful in low carb tortillas!!

Thai Green Curry Chicken... this is as good as any restaurant!!!

1 package of boneless chicken in bite sized pieces
1 can coconut milk
1/4 cup green curry paste (found in most regular grocery stores now and in the Asian section or at any Asian market that sells Southeast Asian foods it is wonderful and lasts forever in the fridg)
2 sliced red bell peppers
1 sliced sweet onion
1/4 cup fish sauce (buy a good one I use Phu Quoc it is perfect)
2 tbsp. vegetable oil


Heat the oil in a saucepan. saute the peppers and onions...then add the green curry paste saute for about a minute.... Add chicken and fish sauce. Stir fry until chicken is barely done. Add coconut milk and bring to boil. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes
