coconut milk is VERY GOOD in cooking chicken curry! We do it all the time. you can saute garlic, onion in oil. put chicken, brown it alittle bit then add your coconut milk. continue stirring so it will be creamy, bring to a boil and add your curry. you may also add bell peppers. add chillis if you like it hot. season with salt. VOILA!

My mum makes it that way and i think it tastes delicious. Im not sure the amount to use, but it definitely gives some extra flavor.

I make Tai recipe that includes curry and coconut milk, along with pineapple. It should work great for your thing. I just use the canned coconut milk. They are about 12 ounces. just puree the coconut until you get about that much, or until you get enough for your flavor.

I use coconut milk in my curry chicken, but I don’t use a whole coconut–I buy the canned milk.

Yes, coconut milk will work well, but get it CANNED because they puree the coconut flesh with the coconut water to get what most people know as “coconut milk”. If you just pour the liquid out of a fresh coconut, that’s not what she’s talking about. As for how much, just keep adding until you get the right consistency.

P.S. As a side note, unless you buy fresh baby coconuts (the ones still covered in the white husk that you can find at asian markets or Whole Foods), the liquid inside will not be fresh and drinkable. The brown coconuts you see at most grocery stores are usually old and not worth the money you paid for them!
