Indeed, if you love masala flavors this one with coconut milk will have you raving about it for days to come.Chicken Masala with bell peppers and masala cauliflower rice

Would you believe that one of my favorite foods in the whole wide world is curry from any country? Believe it or not, I have had Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Swedish and Indian curries. I am sure there are many other cultures in the world that have created Curry Dishes. Although, when I was younger my mother would make our family Fish Gratin (fiskgratäng) with a delicious curry sauce. Gluten-Free Chicken Masala will have you wanting to overeat because it is that yummy. Subsequently, not all curry’s or curry pastes are grain-free. Therefore I created my own recipe.

Thus I am super happy that my family likes this mild curry dish. To conclude even my picky eater likes it. By the way, Garam Masala spice is a warm and comforting spice which contains cumin, cardamom, cinnamon with other spices such as clove. Incredibly, these spices are found in seasonal dishes and I believe it is one of the reasons we find these aromas so comforting. They bring us back to memories of days gone by.

Food is one of those things in life that grants us reflective visions and memories from the past, allowing those warm memories to flood our present.

Gluten-Free Chicken Masala Notes:

In order to get the right amount of heat, I added my Jalapeno powder to the recipe to kick it up a notch on the pepper side. Due to the fact that both of my kids are allergic to dairy, I, therefore, made the curry cream sauce from coconut milk which in addition add a slight note of Thai curry to this dish. In addition to the other spices having freshly grated ginger and fresh minced garlic elevate the flavor profile and add to the luscious aromas. To conclude, this dish contains a mild heat. Anyway, if a spicier dish is desired just add more curry or jalapeno powder to spice it up. Additionally, I use Lano Life Bone Broth Powder in this recipe. Research this product before using to see if it is one you would like to add.

In short, I have found that I need two cans of coconut milk to collect 1 cup of thick coconut. Of course, I then reserve the remaining water and white coconut milk to make smoothies or use in other recipes. By the way, use unsweetened coconut milk as the curry is not meant to have a sweet taste to it.
