Golden coconut chicken curry
Recipe video above. This Golden Coconut Chicken Curry blows me away every time I make it - and I've been making it a lot lately! Such a beautiful spice blend, Thai vibes with a whisper of Indian, like a less shrimpy version of Thai Yellow Curry with a hint of Massaman. Don't skip the star an

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (, vegetable or canola oil (Note 1))
- 3 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 onion (, finely diced)
- 500 g / 1lb chicken thigh fillets (, cut into small 1cm / 1/3" slices (Note 2 options!))
- 1 tsp garlic (, finely grated)
- 1 tsp ginger (, finely grated)
- 3 tsp turmeric (, finely grated (sub 1 1/2 tsp powder, Note 3))
- 2 cups chicken stock/broth (, low sodium)
- 400 g / 14 oz coconut cream (, unsweetened (sub coconut milk, Note 4))
- 1 large head broccoli (, florets cut small (can use stem too - peel & dice), or other veg (4 heaped cups))
- 1 cup coriander/cilantro leaves (, lightly packed, plus extra for garnish (I'd still make without this))
- 1 1/2 tsp cooking/kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala ((Note 5))
- 1 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp fennel powder ((sub more garam masala))
- Crispy fried shallots (, store bought, for garnish (Note 6))
- Rice
Steps
-
Spice mix - Mix the spices in a small bowl.
-
Toast - Heat the oil in a large heavy based pot over medium high heat. Toast the star anise and cinnamon for 2 minutes.
-
Add onion, cook for 2 minutes.
-
Add chicken, cook for 3 minutes or it's no longer pink on the outside (still raw inside).
-
Add aromatics - Add garlic, ginger and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute.
-
Add spice mix and stir for 30 seconds.
-
Simmer 12 minutes - Add stock and coconut cream. Stir and bring to an energetic simmer. Cook for 12 minutes (no need to stir) so the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Add broccoli florets. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes or until softened.
-
Serve - Cool for 5 minutes, this will allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Then stir in coriander and serve with rice (basmati or jasmine especially nice). Garnish with extra coriander and crispy fried shallots.
