Courteney Cox channeled her alter ego Monica Geller once again on Instagram. During this kitchen adventure, the 56-year-old actress showed fans how to prepare chicken curry, a warming Indian staple. Similar to her other recipes, though, such as Keto chips and banana bread, Cox made the recipe her own while keeping it healthy.
A glimpse at the recipe and fans will quickly realize that Cox tackles the curry sauce with a healthy dose of cauliflower. Consequently, she transforms the dish into a healthy creamy cauliflower-based curry studded with spicy tender chicken.
How To Make Courteney Cox’s Chicken Curry
Without missing a beat, Cox kicks off the video by reassuring her fans they’re in for a treat. “Chicken curry, a little complicated, but we got this,” Cox confidently states.
While Masked Wolf’s “Astronaut In The Ocean” plays in the background, the Friends actress gets down to business. First, we see Cox readying the curry sauce. She starts by using a food processor to chop her cauliflower, then snapping ginger and taking names.
Additionally, we see her removing seeds from Serrano chilis using a spoon. However, one fan gives Cox some advice for next time, “Love it! Tip…a small melon baller works great for seeding jalapeños.”
Although not shown, the recipe calls for the cauliflower mixture to be transferred to a blender once tender. As a result, the mixture is effortlessly blended into a creamy curry-like sauce. While sautéing the chicken, Cox adds the curry sauce and a splash of coconut milk to complete the dish. “Damn, that’s good!” Cox exclaims as she takes a bite.
