This looks delicious and I plan on making it tonight. I have everything on hand except for the chicken broth. So I'm going to use the canned coconut milk I have in stock, and maybe add a little cardamom tea, if it gets too thick. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love anything with nut's in it. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your demonstration and listening to the pleasing tone and rhythm of your voice, as you go into detail about how to make a dish. It's Art!👍 ✌💞🇨🇦 KEH
I am 33 years old and barely picked up cooking 2 years ago. I was the kid whose mom cooked everyday and after moving out it was all subways and cafeteria food. Your dishes are delicious yet the ingredients are simple specially for a starter like myself most other recipes or videos online use these branded spices and mixtures that I've never heard of and haven't the faintest clue where to find. So thank you for helping me find the joy of cooking. The Greek lemon chicken you posted is to date my favorite.
Are you really supposed to use 2,5 pound of chicken thighs for this recipe? According to the recipe that will only serve 4 people. Can that really be accurate, it sounds like to much chicken.
Chef John, as an Indian I've tried a lot and I mean a lot of curries but never one with Indian spices and peanut butter. I was in disbelief when I tasted it. Thanks to the UA-cam community's reviews and experiences I gave this curry a go and from today, this is going to be a part of my monthly dishes. It was so flavourful and it reminded me of home a bit. Thank you. Anyone else wondering, stop. Try out this recipe, you won't regret it.
You've given me some confidence to actually give it a go because using peanut butter to make chicken is in my mind = to using something like jam to make fish. I'll definitely try to make this but on a very small portion on a trial basis.
@@tinadsouza2167 aah the first trial wasn't that good, I made it using the measurements shown here and I felt the PB taste was too strong. In the second trial, I added extra sour flavours, reduced the sweet ones and added fresh coriander and I found that more to my taste. My conclusion will be that it depends who's gonna eat it but me, personally, I'm fine when the PB is the background taste.
I've just sat down to a heaping bowl of Chef John's Peanut Curry. What can I say? This is a WONDERFUL recipe. I did have to make a major modification, though: when I got home from the store, I realized I didn't have enough chicken broth and I wanted Peanut Curry NOW, so I had to improvise and use 2 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth and 1 cup water. (That's me cooking.) It turned out just fine. All in all, this recipe is a keeper. Make this, guys -- you won't be sorry!
I know this video is over 5 years old...but I made the recipe tonight, and it is fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly as described, except I added a few carrots with the vegetables. I toasted both whole coriander and cumin in a tiny cast iron pan and ground them up in a small mortar & pestle. I also added a half-teaspoon of powdered ginger to the spice mix, to complement the fresh grated ginger that is added to the curry later. Some of that Molto Mario "combined fresh and dried versions of seasonings for depth of flavor" vibe. People, make this. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Chef.
My friend is a red seal certified chef, and he told me about coconut + sweet thai chili + peanut butter and its also hella good. You just make basically a stir fry and then add a can of coconut milk, a few table spoons of sweet thai chili sauce, and a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Try it out. My gf goes apeshit every time I make it.
I am an Indian and I almost always add a little bit of ketchup in most of my curries unless it has mustard paste in it or it's a white gravy (in which case the base is mostly a paste of melon seeds, cashew and almond paste soaked in warm milk). He is right. It is not only for flavour but the composition of ketchup/tomato sauce helps thicken the gravy, helps the spices bind together and adds colour. But moderation is the key, of course. Also, a good tip is to add the tomato sauce during the initial stage of cooking (usually while sauteeing) because it will make sure the typical ketchup/sauce smell will evaporate, and wouldn't interfere with the other ingredients in terms of smell/flavour.
Did it, not disappointed and added new dimensions myself. Thank you for providing a solid diving board for this big appetite. Well done! 8 years later you keep on giving. Well done on you again!
I made this for dinner last night (I cubed up a few chicken breasts instead of using thighs since that's what I happened to have) and it was wonderful! And the leftovers tonight were even better, since all those yummy spices had a chance to mix together in the curry in the fridge overnight. Loved it! Thanks, Chef John!
I made this using a full 900ml of chicken stock (Campbells) and Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter and 2.5# of chicken breast, sliced. The recipe came out perfect in both viscosity and flavour! I made up coconut rice to go with it (1 398ml/14oz can Coconut Milk, one can water, salt, 1tsp sugar) and garnished with peanuts and cilantro. My son gave it a solid 10 out of 10 (rare) and my wife ate it 3 days in a row (stupid rare). Now I have to make it again for the cottage weekends this summer! It's a winner Chef John! Oh, and by the way - I am a hopeless cook but your directions made it easy even for me! Thanks so much!
if you don't know where to buy pure peanut butter, ask the next person you see wearing sandals where they buy theirs , I was laughing so hard I nearly fell off my chair ,, now considering I live in a tiny country town , I decided to try this , it took me 10 mins but I found a guy wearing sandals and true enough , they have the peanut butter connection !
Hello. My boyfriend made this for me and I fell in love with it. Than I had to know how to make it because I didn't want to wait for him to make it again. I followed your directions and it turned out MARVELOUS. I make it often because it's just that good. One of my favorite recipes😍
I dunno if you come back and read comments, but I absolutely love your delivery. Made me giggle the whole time and I paid way more attention than I usually do. So thanks!
I'm glad you like the delivery but I couldn't listen to him without grimacing. His voice drops at the end of sentences which is off-putting and he does it over and over and over. Happily the recipe looks very good!
+Christine King I'm in Alberta, Canada. ( A Canadian province north of Montana, and east of British Columbia. ) I'm in Mountain time when he uploads these videos. His cooking makes me so hungry. There have been many forest fires in the Western U.S and Western Canada this summer. I hope the fires in California go away soon.
I made it and it was delicious! I didn't follow the recipe exactly because I dont eat zucchini or bell peppers, so I used carrots and pineapple instead. Also, I reduced the chicken broth amount by 1/4 to 1/3, and added up with the pineapple juice. It was very good! Thank you Chef John!
I made this for my D&D group last night and they LOVED it. Everyone went back for seconds and at least one of them went back for thirds. Every Chef John recipe I've made has turned out amazing!!!
This recipe is exceptional! I have to admit I was a little thrown by the ketchup, but I had all the ingredient (except for zucchini which I subbed with mushrooms) on hand so I went for it. It will be on permanent rotation at house. Thank you!!!
This recipe is the best, the ketchup makes the dish perfect. I've been making this since the early 80's but this is the best recipe that I now know of.
Didn’t have meat on hand and so used bell peppers In place of chicken. Holy Dynna- if you told me there was no meat in here I would not have believed you. It’s that good. Can’t wait to try it with the chicken.
Every time chef John jokes about adding ice-cream, every time I believe him 😂 because impossible no to! Thank you, chef John, for good laugh, recipe and your loving attitude toward us 🕊
The chicken looks amazing! Just one suggestion, when you add the spices to the pan and immediately add the entire amount of water/broth, the spices dont get to fry in the oil and enrich the flavour. So, when adding the raw spices to the onions, just tossing them around in the hot oil while splashing some water on them will really concentrate the flavour and elevate your already super elevated curry. The entire broth can be added just a minute later.
I also tossed the chicken in after toasting the spices a bit and moved it around a bit as well and then added the broth. I didn't have ground coriander but while ones so I ground some up in an old pepper mill. Didn't have peanuts and only used bell/Italian green pepper. A little dash of pepper flakes at the end. Also I was in a hurry and no time for hour long simmers, so as soon as chicken and vegetables were cooked that was it, it could've reduced a little more but still a nice consistency. Absolutely gorgeous even though I didn't have all the right ingredients (only had bone in chicken breast). So still try to make it even if it's not exact. Sooooo worth it.
I have ulcerative colitis and this recipe is the most fulfilling, satisfying and comforting meals I've had after recovering from a flare or just in general. I made it with no spice and only chicken and broccoli. Thank you so much.
I have this bubbling away on the stove as I write this and boy howdy is the sauce good. Thanks Chef John, you just took the place besides AB on recipes I use and love.
I love the disclaimer at the beginning about this not being specific to any country or culture. That should keep the knobs from the peanut gallery (lol) from flapping their jaws too much on this one.
Hi Chef John! I've been watching your videos lately and decided to try this one out. It turned out to be really amazing and delicious! Wanted to take a picture and post it with this comment, but like you, I couldn't resist myself and ate the whole thing. Anyways, I'm definitely trying more recipes!
Oh this brings back memories! Mom used to make chicken curry and put out bowls of chopped cilantro, peanuts, raisins, yogurt and other condiments. Absolutely yummy.
I was so scared at 6:43 when he said "garnish it with vanilla ice cream", like wtf did you placed on the curry? I was relieved after I saw the cup of rice. LOL
The scoop of rice is freakishly small too. The general rule is that you always have more rice than whatever your food topping is, because rice is cheap and filling as it's a staple food, whereas the main course would usually be more expensive and you'd get way less meals that way.
Made this and turned out delicious, some of the best food to ever come out of my own two hands haha! Thank you so much chef John, you truly are a blessing for us amateurs (and pros too, I'm sure!). I've learned so much watching your videos! You always cut to the chase while giving us the most tasteful amount of sass, it's wonderful :) Have a nice day!
Much like you and turmeric, I am making progress on my more "ethnic" spices. I very recently (as in last week) learned that the reason I never liked cumin was because growing up my mom just put way too much of it in things that she used it in! I'm 28 years old. That's how long it took for me to try using it again! Maybe some day I'll find that I like other curry flavors as well. One step at a time though, until then i'll just keep thinking "wow... that looks really good..." and not attempt to make it for fear of the spice blend.
Thank you for posting this recipe, Chef! This looks and sounds fantastic. One thing - is OK for me to make a lie of omission to my husband and call this "Chef John's Special Chicken"? My husband thinks he doesn't like things with peanut butter in them for dinner, but I think he will like this a lot, as long as I don't tell him the real name.
+DerpyRex WRONG... Peanuts aren't nuts, they're legumes and peanut allergies are totally different than nut allergies. OP you can use almond/cashew butter and use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. You maybe able to use firm tofu in place of the chicken as well but maybe add it towards the end so it doesn't turn to mush..?? Just what I might try if I were vegetarian.
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I credit chef John with getting me into cooking years ago. I have tried many of his recipes and this is one that my family always makes me come back to.
I want to thank you for all you delicious recipes. I cooked your peanut butter curry chicken yesterday during our global quarantine. Having the taste of the world in our dinner table gave my family happiness and hope. After each meal, my youngest son always says... “Enjoy”. I am a huge fan. Thank you 🙏🏽
Tamarind would have been the authentic choice for those who are wondering about the tomato pendantism. It gives more sour, has plenty of thickening, and can be bought for cheap!
Yasmine Shahbaz tamarind is much more sour or rather not as sweet as ketchup. I don't think a 1:1 substitution would work. Try with 1/4th. Of course it depends on what kind of tamarind you buy. Some are sweeter than others. Never tried those pastes though. I'd recommend add tbsp by tbsp to reach desired combination of tartness and sweetness. When we make curry in India, my mom would add about a tiny piece, maybe as large as two cloves of garlic. And that would add sufficient sourness to the curry.
I don't know if I've commented on this vid already but I don't care. This curry has become a staple in my household. We friggin love it! Thank you so much for sharing it. We're having it tonight and I'm excited to tuck in. I stir in some corn starch to thicken it up a bit and leave out the ground coriander (not sure if the brand I buy is a dud, it doesn't smell or taste of anything...), but otherwise I follow this recipe to a T. For anyone who needs help buying all-natural peanut butter, Walmart sells it. Not sure if they have a Great Value version, but Smuckers has a product that's literally just peanuts (maybe salt too).
I really liked this. I used all GMO peanut butter, Curry, and Cumin. So my children will be born naked. And it still tasted very good. I really like it. In fact this was fantastic even though it was GMO! I used the American curry out of the little Jar that comes with the spice rack. It was really good. I will make this again.
+Shilag No idea where, but my wife picked up a jar of dill pickled garlic. Been working on finishing the jar for over a month and only half way through it. It's a little weird with the flavo,r and the garlic is still crispy and sharp in flavor.
Made this last week.... It was a huge win. Since the little kids were eating it too....i left out the cayenne and pablanos (substitutes green bell pepper instead)..,. I added broth as I saw fit like chef suggested. We are keeping this recipe in the rotation.
Yum it looks delicious. I am a vegetarian so I'll substitute with tofu. I'll let you know how it goes. edit: I made it and it was delicious! The tofu also worked well.
I watched this video around 3 am and i was suffering lol went to the grocery store same day and currently having it for dinner. Everyone got two rounds. It is delicioussss 😋😋😋
+mellyayble "It looks delicious", is your brain telling you that you should make it and eat it! If there's an ingredient you really hate, leave it out. If there's an ingredient you just don't like, leave it in and see if you still don't like it. Or substitute something you do like. Apart from the peanut and the spices, the ingredients in this dish don't have very strong flavours individually. Don't like peanut? Use almond butter (bonus -- you can call the resulting dish a korma). Don't like zucchini? Use some other squash, or okra, or potato, or mushroom or anything else. Don't like peppers? Leave them out. As Chef John says, "That's you cooking."

This looks delicious and I plan on making it tonight.
I have everything on hand except for the chicken broth.
So I'm going to use the canned coconut milk I have in stock, and maybe add a little cardamom tea, if it gets too thick.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love anything with nut's in it.
As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your demonstration and listening to the pleasing tone and rhythm of your voice, as you go into detail about how to make a dish.

I've made this about 4 times now. It's my favorite thing that I now know how to make
can i use chicken breast instead?
turdsandwicher yea i used chicken breast once while making it, not quite as tasty but the difference is minimal if you're trying to be healthy
just what i have on hand. thanks bro

Yes but thighs will be tastier and easier to get tender.

I'm South Asian and I found this really tasty. People should stop being narrowminded and enjoy experimenting with different recipes!
+Danish Roll Well said.
My husband is from India. He loved this
Well said brotha. If you wanna be a chef,be open minded to dishes.
Danish Roll Thanks for the review. I'm South Asian and I was wondering whether this recipe would ever work for die hard curry lovers from Asia.
Yes as you should keep trying different women.
Did it, not disappointed and added new dimensions myself. Thank you for providing a solid diving board for this big appetite. Well done! 8 years later you keep on giving. Well done on you again!

+daveofiveo wow! thanks alot! I figured there would have been one but there were so many videos that I couldn't find it

Thank you so much.
Glad you got to enjoy a Yummy meal, Hope you feeling better Girl✌ Happy Summer & God Bless ya
this looks so delicious! I'm moving into a new apartment next month and I'm saving this recipe as my first dish 😋
You are the chef with the sweetest voice i've heard till now..
p.s you're awesome chef, learning many things from your videos...keep on uploding
I have had this recipe saved for years in my playlist, when I just started out cooking my first meals. And I finally made it! It tasted wonderful!
I have this bubbling away on the stove as I write this and boy howdy is the sauce good.
Thanks Chef John, you just took the place besides AB on recipes I use and love.
I've followed this recipe thrice now.
All times to great and rising (imho) success!
I love the disclaimer at the beginning about this not being specific to any country or culture. That should keep the knobs from the peanut gallery (lol) from flapping their jaws too much on this one.
+OlofTheBald 100 points for the peanut gallery quip.
this is amazingly delicious... im cooking it right now, and I can't stop tasting it every once in a while¡¡¡¡
thank you so muuuuuuch
I laughed so hard at the leather sandals bit! You're the best Chef John!
This was the first Food Wishes recipe I ever followed and my roommates and I loved the product. New favorite!

OMG Just did this... chef John, you’re the best chef ever! Better than Jamie Oliver, Bobby Flay, Julia Child etc. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Oh this brings back memories! Mom used to make chicken curry and put out bowls of chopped cilantro, peanuts, raisins, yogurt and other condiments. Absolutely yummy.
Mr. Chef John. I forgot how good this is. Girlfriend requested it on our vacay and I made it for the first time in years. Omg. This is so good.
Made this tonight. INSTANT favorite. Easy to prepare and amazingly satisfying. Highly recommend to any and all lovers of curry and peanuts.
I was so scared at 6:43 when he said "garnish it with vanilla ice cream", like wtf did you placed on the curry? I was relieved after I saw the cup of rice. LOL
I got nervous too!!
peanuts, ice cream,... that could work!!
Me too..i heard d same

This is the most delicious dinner meal I've ever cooked. THANK YOU. I made two portions, and will just sous vide the second one tomorrow.
Happiness = when ur favorite chef uses ingredients currently sitting in ur pantry and fridge ❤️!
Much like you and turmeric, I am making progress on my more "ethnic" spices. I very recently (as in last week) learned that the reason I never liked cumin was because growing up my mom just put way too much of it in things that she used it in! I'm 28 years old. That's how long it took for me to try using it again! Maybe some day I'll find that I like other curry flavors as well. One step at a time though, until then i'll just keep thinking "wow... that looks really good..." and not attempt to make it for fear of the spice blend.
And cumin is one of the spices which pretty much has to be cooked out a bit, otherwise it's like adding sawdust to your dish
Thank you for posting this recipe, Chef! This looks and sounds fantastic.
One thing - is OK for me to make a lie of omission to my husband and call this "Chef John's Special Chicken"? My husband thinks he doesn't like things with peanut butter in them for dinner, but I think he will like this a lot, as long as I don't tell him the real name.
I'm a vegetarian with a peanut allergy and I want to make and eat this.
+garancethekid good luck.
just use other nut butters
+MrRomber the thing is, you can't just be allergic to peanuts, he means all nuts
+garancethekid swap it for cashew butter or coconut milk
+DerpyRex WRONG... Peanuts aren't nuts, they're legumes and peanut allergies are totally different than nut allergies. OP you can use almond/cashew butter and use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. You maybe able to use firm tofu in place of the chicken as well but maybe add it towards the end so it doesn't turn to mush..?? Just what I might try if I were vegetarian.
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. I credit chef John with getting me into cooking years ago. I have tried many of his recipes and this is one that my family always makes me come back to.
I want to thank you for all you delicious recipes. I cooked your peanut butter curry chicken yesterday during our global quarantine. Having the taste of the world in our dinner table gave my family happiness and hope. After each meal, my youngest son always says... “Enjoy”. I am a huge fan. Thank you 🙏🏽

Tamarind would have been the authentic choice for those who are wondering about the tomato pendantism. It gives more sour, has plenty of thickening, and can be bought for cheap!

Love tamarind. It has a nice bit of mystery.
Hmm sounds delicious. do you think it would be a 1:1 replacement? 🤔
Yasmine Shahbaz tamarind is much more sour or rather not as sweet as ketchup. I don't think a 1:1 substitution would work. Try with 1/4th. Of course it depends on what kind of tamarind you buy. Some are sweeter than others. Never tried those pastes though. I'd recommend add tbsp by tbsp to reach desired combination of tartness and sweetness. When we make curry in India, my mom would add about a tiny piece, maybe as large as two cloves of garlic. And that would add sufficient sourness to the curry.
Tina D'Souza thanks so much for the thoughtful reply! :)
My favorite time to watch your videos is 3 am when I'm starving to death in bed.
i made this and oh my goodness it was wonderful...no butter no cream but very rich...a keeper for sure!!!
I don't know if I've commented on this vid already but I don't care. This curry has become a staple in my household. We friggin love it! Thank you so much for sharing it. We're having it tonight and I'm excited to tuck in. I stir in some corn starch to thicken it up a bit and leave out the ground coriander (not sure if the brand I buy is a dud, it doesn't smell or taste of anything...), but otherwise I follow this recipe to a T.
For anyone who needs help buying all-natural peanut butter, Walmart sells it. Not sure if they have a Great Value version, but Smuckers has a product that's literally just peanuts (maybe salt too).
I really liked this. I used all GMO peanut butter, Curry, and Cumin. So my children will be born naked. And it still tasted very good. I really like it. In fact this was fantastic even though it was GMO! I used the American curry out of the little Jar that comes with the spice rack. It was really good. I will make this again.

+CJ I went straight to the comments the moment he said peanut butter curry time lol
Is that a refrence to "The message" by Grandmaster Flash?

Since you did a couple of pickling recipes recently, how about pickled garlic? Got anything on that? I'd love to see your take on it!
+Shilag No idea where, but my wife picked up a jar of dill pickled garlic. Been working on finishing the jar for over a month and only half way through it. It's a little weird with the flavo,r and the garlic is still crispy and sharp in flavor.
It's 4:30 am, and I'm watching your videos, and you are making me RAVENOUS!
Made this last week.... It was a huge win. Since the little kids were eating it too....i left out the cayenne and pablanos (substitutes green bell pepper instead)..,. I added broth as I saw fit like chef suggested. We are keeping this recipe in the rotation.
I'm completely hooked to this channel. I have an unhealthy obsession with food porn.
Same. And nice name.

Embrace your obsessions; live the life.
You're the Stephen Curry of your... curry.

You get 3 points for that
Sorry , but I’m the Bill Murray of my peanut curry
You're the Tim Curry of your chicken curry! Let's do the time warp again!
SWISH! Nothing but Net! :>>
I would love for you to do a video on Baklava one day. It is my favorite food ever. Pastitcio would be awesome too.
He already done one on Baklava ... it looks amazing , when I can eat again it is one I will definitely make.
Lol this is the funniest chef on utube. I was drooling the whole time he was cooking this. So funny. U got to love his humor.
Just made this today. It came out great! My wife was surprised and pleased.
as someone who lives in a college dorm with no access to real food: you're killing me.
Does anyone watch his videos more than 2 times like me 😂👍🏼😂😂
i don't even cook 99% of his recipes. He is entertaining and his voice is so calming.
and sometimes more if I am making the recipe
I do! He bears repeating.
Infact I kept rewinding😂😂
Had a .2 second freak out when you said ice cream!lol
I found this recipe on allrecipes a couple years ago, I've made it about a dozen times, and it is excellent, I love it. Thanks!
I made it 2 days ago and I am about to make it again today. This was so easy and delicious. My family loved it. Thanks
I thought he lost his marbles when he added ice cream and then i was like ayyy lmao he always had his marbles.
ice cream might just work in a dish like that.. add a hint of vanilla, a lil more sweetness and a creamy texture...
when he said Vanilla ice cream i was like "NOOOOOOOOO...." then he says rice and "i was you sweet son of a gun, you very near gave me a heart attack"
Yum it looks delicious. I am a vegetarian so I'll substitute with tofu. I'll let you know how it goes.
edit: I made it and it was delicious! The tofu also worked well.
love your channel. and your narration is calming
I watched this video around 3 am and i was suffering lol went to the grocery store same day and currently having it for dinner. Everyone got two rounds. It is delicioussss 😋😋😋
Wearing leather sandals on the off chance someone asks me where I buy peanut butter
Like the way he describes his cooking with some odd sense of humor. hahaha
you have the best jokes! also i wish i wasn't such a picky eater because the recipes always look delish :)
+mellyayble "It looks delicious", is your brain telling you that you should make it and eat it! If there's an ingredient you really hate, leave it out. If there's an ingredient you just don't like, leave it in and see if you still don't like it. Or substitute something you do like. Apart from the peanut and the spices, the ingredients in this dish don't have very strong flavours individually. Don't like peanut? Use almond butter (bonus -- you can call the resulting dish a korma). Don't like zucchini? Use some other squash, or okra, or potato, or mushroom or anything else. Don't like peppers? Leave them out. As Chef John says, "That's you cooking."
mellyayble
maybe let your picky eater watch these videos!
This was our dinner today. my kid loves it. no coconut milk but still creamy and rich. thank you.
I made this tonight and it was really really good. This recipe is definitely going into my "favorites" folder.
Sounds Yummm Girl! ✌ Happy Summer BTW 😊
Butter Chicken recipe next please chef John! :)
Here's his loose interpretation: ua-cam.com/video/wXtPoTDZvmM/v-deo.html
You are the James Murray of your peanut curry(I have never heard of him)

What a good recipe! Tons of flavor. Added a little fish sauce and some lemon grass to it. This will be a regular meal in the house going forward.

My spice rack has tripled in size since I discovered this channel and now I need to add in two more. =/
needs more rice
I messed up and didn't have the spices mixed before hand and it still turned out good - thanks Chef John!!
Thanks for giving us reliable recipes all the time.
