Chicken Curry with Squash

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • lemon wedges, for serving
  • rice, for serving
  • 11/2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 yellow squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • freshly ground pepper
  • salt
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 11/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp Madras curry powder
  • 2 hot chili with seeds, minced
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
  • 2 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

Directions

1. In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilies and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth and coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook over moderate heat until barely tender, 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and squash, cover partially and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 15 minutes.

2. Add the chicken to the casserole, season with salt and pepper and cook just until white throughout, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice, with lemon wedges.
