Ingredients
Scale
- For the Sauce:
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives
- 2 bananas, smashed*
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1/2 cup water
- Other Ingredients:
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 potato, diced
- 1 cup broccoli, broken into smaller florets
- 1 cup bell pepper
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 large zucchini, or 6 small zucchini (I use this hand-held spiral slicer, so I typically opt to use smaller zucchini)
Instructions
- Begin with all of your ingredients chopped and ready to go.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the cumin seeds. Allow them to toast and turn brown while occasionally stirring for about 5 minutes. At this point, they will become very fragrant.
- Next, add the rest of the spices (turmeric, coriander, chipotle pepper, salt, mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chives) and allow them to become fragrant.
- Add the smashed banana, water, and coconut milk and gently stir as the sauce comes to a boil. Turn the heat down, and pour into a separate bowl. Set aside.
- In the same pan, heat oil. Then, add the vegetables (carrots, potato, broccoli, bell pepper) and stir for 3-5 minutes until fork-tender.
- Add the chicken to the vegetable mixture and cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the chicken and vegetables are cooking, pour the sauce that you had previously set aside into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the sharp s-blade. Blend until everything is thoroughly combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Add the sauce to the vegetable and chicken mixture and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cover with a lid to allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- While the curry chicken and vegetable mixture simmers, heat another skillet to medium high heat. Toss your zucchini noodles with a touch of salt and stir until they are heated through.
- Divide the zucchini noodles in equal amounts into each bowl, and top the zoodles with the curry, chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Enjoy!
