i
trying to remember if i added the ground coriander or forgot it? I did add fresh (ok, frozen cube) cilantro when sauteeeing the veggies and not as a pretty garnish at the end.
mix spices and sprinkle a teeny bit on the chicken, barely any, saute chicken till cooked but not tough. remove from pan.
saute pepper and onion.
add remaining spices and a splash of tomato juice to make a runny paste w/vegetables, cook 1 min, add back in chicken cook 1 more min, add tomatoes, reserving juice just in case it gets too dry (usually wont)
stir and add about half the coconut milk. Simmer about 15 min, adding more coconut milk or tomato juice to get desired consistancy and taste.
