Chicken Curry with mushrooms and broccoli

Chicken curry with mushrooms and broccoli is a quick,easy,healthy and tasty dish.This curry has two of my all time favorite ingredients i.e mushrooms and broccoli. Coconut milk gives this curry a creamy texture and richness.Coconut milk is not very difficult to make at home,for that we need 1 grated fresh coconut and 1 cup hot water.In a mixing bowl mix the grated coconut with the water ,stir well and let it cool in room temperature.Use a muslin cloth as a strainer and squeeze the coconut milk out.If you do not have any fresh coconut at home use the canned coconut milk :) .I used white button mushroom for this recipe as I love its earthy and nutty texture, you can alternatively use  Shitake mushrooms as well.

Button mushrooms are a good source of Vitamin B-6 and Iron.Broccoli which is an edible green plant in the cabbage family is a very rich source of dietary fiber,minerals and antioxidants.They are also a great source of Vitamin C,Vitamin A and Vitamin B-6.I personally believe that broccoli is a super food as it is healthy,low in calories and tastes great:)I really like this chicken curry and make it at home regularly,hope you will like this recipe as much as I do and will enjoy it with your family and friends.happy Cooking and have a great weekend!!!
