Рецепт Curried Coconut and Seafood Chowder
Chowders and curries alone are considered to be rich and comforting dishes,imagine combining these two it would yield a really potent dish. Today you don’t have to imagine further as we will be making one at home. Initially I thought of just mixing the same original ingredients but I guess the flavours would be really rich and will be hard to consume on its own so I have to mellow down some of its main ingredients for it to be more palatable. The key here is balancing the right flavour which gives a creamy yet perfectly spiced thick soup.
Curried Coconut and Seafood Chowder is the one we are making for today, it’s a good mix of different seafood’s like prawns, squid, fish and mussels in a starchy creamy curry based soup. Alongside with potatoes this dish becomes an all-in-one dish. Furthermore, what is amazing is that this dish is very simple to prepare and you can also use the frozen mixed seafood packs you can buy from your supermarket to save you time and energy.
