Coconut Chicken Sauce

Chicken Coconut Sauce 0302

Coconut Chicken Sauce served with Basmati rice and some dodo is one lunch meal you will thank me for after you get round to making one yourself. Chicken dishes are quicker to cook particularly when it is the soft type. Making a sauce like Coconut Chicken Sauce will add some exciting moments to meal times. Tomato price has gone through the roof. I understand that Nigerian tomato farmers are are now supplying their tomato to some tomato puree industry which is why home consumption is being starved. I hope we get over this period very soon.

The last couple of months has also been challenging storing food at home in Nigeria. Poor electricity supply keeps one wondering what dishes to cook such that you enjoy the dish if even when you have left over. Today I am more inclined to cook for each meal. This is something I am not used to. The habit of cooking like 5 different sauces and soups over the weekend and storing in the freezer is gone. I don’t know about you but the whole idea of cooking every day is not funny. I need a cook right now in my life but where can I find one. The few I interviewed cannot fry descent brown dodo that cooks to the middle. What to do? Well I have to continue cooking until I find a good cook.

For my Coconut Chicken Sauce I used canned coconut milk which made the  dish easy to cook. Enjoy my offering today
