People in life have all sorts of strange phobias. Well, I was afraid of currys. No really I’m not actually joking. When I started the specific carbohydrate diet I realised that the foods I believed caused me problems weren’t actually the problems at all and once I removed the real allergens from my diet: gluten, sugar, grains, I could eat a lot of more foods than before. My diet is so much more varied now. I aim to eat a rainbow of vegetables every day which is not an effort. I like to add spices to my currys, soups and burgers. So yummy and healthy too!
After much experimentation I have come up with this recipe which is so rich and flavourful. My husband considers himself a bit of a curry connoisseur. He lived in London for four years while he was a student and he ate many a curry in Brick Lane, which is the mecca for all curry-lovers. He says mine comes very close if not better to currys he’s had there. I’ll take that as a HUGE compliment!
This recipes uses my homemade curry powder which you can find the recipe here.

Dear Maria, last Sunday I cooked your Coconut Chicken Curry and it was delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe! My husband always said that he didn’t like curries and he LOVED it! And my 3 years old son while munching the dish keep asking ”mommy is there more of this, mommy is there more of this?” 🙂 The coconut with the lime is a delicious combination. I wanted to ask you were did you buy the coconut cans as I bought them in Tesco and there were far from be only coconut and water. Cheers!
