It is especially easy if you prepare it estilo Kat....which was learned via my mother-in-law. She has food preparation days where she will do things like cook up a bunch of beef to freeze it in baggies, or will can things, or make freezer jam. I do not can or freezer jam (though I do enjoy it), BUT I have learned the joys of pre-cooking and freezing meat. I get my meat when I can find it on a deal, and then have a little prep day for that meat or meats. I do the ground beef and freeze it in baggies (usually 3/4 to 1 pound worth), and I also will take my chicken breasts, boil them forever (remember: germaphobe), and then cut them into pieces and put about a pound's worth in a baggie. Makes dinner EASY.
Like I mentioned before, it is really important to make sure your coconut milk is unsweetened. Also, we have made this recipe as written before, and it is wonderful, but tonight when I made it I realized I had neglected to check the recipe carefully and I didn't have tomato paste or spinach. Oops. So I substituted a couple of tablespoons of ketchup for the tomato flavor (I figured the tomato paste was being used more to flavor than to thicken things up), and I threw in some frozen peas for the veggie kick. I'm not sure if peas are curry-blasphemy or not, but it was really good. I am happy with the recipe either way.
Family Rating: ****
My Rating: ****
Cost: $ (it actually may end up being a touch over $5, depending on your chicken prices)
Difficulty: Easy. The only thing to chop is an onion and the chicken, and the rest you just throw in and cook.
