THAI CURRY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the coconut milk, chicken broth and curry paste to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the carrot, red pepper, onion, corn, chile, basil, lime leaves and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the shrimp, snap peas and half of the noodles (reserve the remaining noodles for frying). Simmer, uncovered, until the shrimp are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard the lime leaves and basil sprigs.
• Pour the canola oil into a large, wide saucepan fitted with a deep-fry thermometer. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Add the reserved noodles and fry them until crispy, about 20 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Ladle the curry into four bowls. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts and serve.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup water, the coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce, ginger and lime zest in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Smash the lemongrass stalk with the flat side of a knife or a meat mallet and tie in a knot. Add the lemongrass, peanuts and potatoes to the slow cooker. Top with the chicken thighs and gently press to submerge in the liquid. Cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
• Uncover the slow cooker and skim off some of the fat. Stir in the lime juice; season with salt. Break up the chicken into smaller chunks. Let stand 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly; discard the lemongrass.
• Serve the curry with rice. Top with peanuts and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

CHICKEN CURRY IN A HURRY

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and sweet potato to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables and continue cooking for another minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the coconut milk and broth, stirring to combine. Mix in the honey and salt. Allow the sauce to heat up until gently simmering.
• Add the chicken to the sauce, tossing to coat, and allow it to simmer until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Mix in the chopped cilantro, hot sauce and lime juice.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with mango cubes, cilantro leaves and lime wedges.

CURRY CHICKEN POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil and 6 tablespoons of the butter in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, curry powder and a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables are soft and the onions turn translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the peas and carrots. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth and milk, whisking to remove any flour lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and stir to combine.
• Pour the curry chicken into four 10-ounce ramekins or gratin-style bowls.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll the pie crust large enough to cut 4 circles to fit over the ramekins. Lightly brush the edges of the ramekins with the egg wash. Place the pie crust over the top of the curry chicken, pressing to seal along the edges. Using a sharp paring knife, create a few slits in the top of the pies. Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash.
• Bake until the crust is a deep golden brown and the pot pies are bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Top with pats of the remaining 2 tablespoons butter right before serving.

SLOW-COOKER BEEF CURRY

• Uncover and skim off any fat from the top of the mixture. Stir well to combine, then let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cilantro, pickled jalapenos and brine, 1/4 cup water and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin and 1 tablespoon ginger in a food processor. Pulse until combined; season with salt and pepper.
• Stir 3 tablespoons of the cilantro puree into the slow cooker; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2 cups beef curry for Beef and Vegetable Handpies. Serve the remaining curry with the naan; top with the remaining cilantro puree.
