The Easiest Kerala Chicken Curry | No Bones, 30 Minutes!

Love chicken curry but want to keep it simple? This Kerala-inspired coconut chicken curry is rich, velvety, and incredibly easy—even for total beginners. By using boneless chicken and a few kitchen "hacks," we've turned a traditional coastal favorite into a fast, 30-minute meal that's perfect for lunch boxes and busy weeknights. I’ll show you why we use a manual chopper instead of a blender for the perfect texture, the "Stone Age" secret to a more aromatic spice mix, and how to use Kudampuli (Malabar Tamarind) to get that authentic tangy finish. 🖨️ GET THE FULL WRITTEN RECIPE HERE: https://happybellyfish.com/recipe/creamy-chicken-curry-with-coconut-milk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📚 COURSES & GUIDES: ✅ Srikant's online course THE MASTERY OF SPICES: https://school.happybellyfish.com/p/how-to-use-spices-online-course ✅ Download Srikant's Visual Guide to Spices (PDF): https://happybellyfish.com/how-to-cook-with-spices-and-herbs-visual-guide-for-beginners/ ✅ Download "Everyday Healthy Desserts" E-Book: https://school.happybellyfish.com/p/healthy-desserts-book-928563 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 THE EASY INGREDIENTS: 900g-1kg Chicken Breast (cut into 1" cubes) Marinade: 1 tbsp Salt, 1 tbsp Vinegar (or Lemon Juice) The Base: 3 Onions, 1" Ginger, 1 tbsp Garlic (all finely chopped) The Tang: 3 Ripe Tomatoes, 2 pieces Kudampuli (Malabar Tamarind) The Spice: 1 tbsp Black Peppercorns, 2" Cassia, 3-4 Cardamom pods (ground together) The Liquid: 250ml Coconut Cream + 250ml Water (or 500ml Coconut Milk) Finish: Fresh Coriander & Optional Tempering (Mustard seeds, shallots, curry leaves) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⬇️ WATCH NEXT (Creamy Coastal Curries) ⬇️ Goan Fish Curry: Spicy, Tangy & Authentically Better https://youtu.be/EsIKuZHFaBw This Prawn Curry is Next-Level 🔥 Secret Ingredient Revealed https://youtu.be/nQV7HdD6_S8 Authentic Chicken Curry Masterclass https://youtu.be/psrRIBkjHB0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 MY KITCHEN TOOLS (Affiliate Links): (Disclaimer: These are Amazon affiliate links which provide a small commission to this channel via anything purchased via these links) ✅ Meen Chatti (Kerala Clay Pot): https://amzn.to/41hMT35 ✅ Food Processor: https://amzn.to/4n5dJ84 ✅ Kudampuli (Malabar Tamarind): https://amzn.to/4k37rnq ✅ Stainless Steel Pan (IN): https://amzn.to/40XmCWD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏳ CHAPTERS & TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Kerala Flavors Made Simple (No complicated spices!) 00:55 – The Best Way to Thaw & Prep Chicken Breast 02:00 – The Manual Chopper Trick: Why Texture Matters 03:30 – Key Ingredients: Curry Leaves & Kudampuli 04:24 – The "Stone Age" Spice Mix (Black Pepper & Cardamom) 06:00 – Cooking the Base: Why We Don’t Brown the Onions 08:00 – Adding Coconut Cream vs. Milk 09:40 – Storage & Meal Prep Tips 10:20 – The Optional "Tadka" for Extra Flavor 11:00 – Why You Should Serve This with Kerala Red Rice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👇🏽 LET'S CONNECT!
