Coconut Chicken with Mustard Seed

When you are faced with an abundance of coconut, a predicament (albeit a tasty one) common to many homes along India’s coastlines, you find every possible excuse to incorporate them in spice blends, pastes, sauces, rice, desserts, seafood, and meats. This mellow curry showcases the richness of fresh coconut with a hint of chiles rounded out by the other coastline favorite—tart, cooling tamarind.
