Sam The Cooking Guy's Thai Chicken Curry

This recipe is so good. I'm especially intrigued by using pre-grilled chicken in the recipe so that it takes even less time. My mom cooked this for Lars and I last night and my only complaint is that it looks like baby poo. I mean, I don't know if I'd think that if I didn't have a baby that poos frequently. Its just curry, ya know? It doesn't smell like baby poo if that is any consolation. It smells like delicious fantastic curry.

...What? You want me to stop with the baby poo descriptions? Is this a people's blog or a bourgeois blog?

Okay okay here's the recipe taken from Sam the Cooking Guy.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1-14 ounce can coconut milk
  • 2 cups diced cooked chicken, or lamb, or whatever you like
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam
Steps
  1. Cook onion and garlic in oil until softened - but not too soft
  2. Mix flour and curry powder together, and add to onion mixture
  3. NOTE - if you want it spicy, this is when you would add the cayenne
  4. Stir well for a minute, and begin to add about 3/4 of the coconut milk (add all if you like, it will just be a little thinner)
  5. Stir in apricot jam
  6. Add in chicken and allow all to warm through
  7. Serve on rice and garnish with a little fresh chopped cilantro
