Aqua faba is really such a nice ingredient to thicken up a sauce :D
That looks tasty! How do you make that?

MODERATORS
Start by chopping some garlic, chalots/onions and ginger finely. Make bite size chunks of chicken
Get some oil (or gee would work i think) heating up in a pan (you can get away with a mediocre quality copper pan)
Get your chicken bits golden brown in the pan on high heat (you want to keep the chicken juicy) before lowering the heat a bit and adding your garlic, onions etc
At this point you can start cooking your washed rice
Wait for your aromatics to get fragrant/somewhat caramelized
Add salt and curry
After just a little bit, add your coconut milk (with fat and all)
You can add yogurt if you feel lilke going extra creamy
(Assuming you got jarred red beans and not dry which will also work but need to be cooked longer with the rice) Strain a bit of aqua faba into your pan with all your sauce and dump your red beans in your rice
Add some lemon/lime juice to your sauce (might also work in the rice) to cut the richness (if you want more of the taste of lemon and less of the sharpness, you can cook it a bit longer)
Serve and enjoy :)
Improvements :
find something with a bit of bite to add to the dish, it's good but the texture is maybe a bit too uniform...
Add some greens, fresh cilantro or spinach ?
Thank you for the effort!
I'll have one without cilantro/coriander please and thank you. 👍
Suit yourself ^_^ recipe is somewhere down here if you want to try it
I loooove coconut curry.
It's juste so comforting :)
