I'm wanting to make some chicken curry tonight, but don't care too much for coconut milk and every recipe I find calls for it. Was wondering if I can just leave it out or substitute with something else? Reg. milk? Cream cheese? Anything other than coconut milk! lol 
I've had it before in authentic Indian restaurants without coconut milk in it and it's great...just not sure about making it at home. Any advice is appreciated! TIA! 
Guess I'm the only one... 
I love it...... but no recipe for it.....I once had it with a little coconut milk and you couldn't tell.....

Personally i'd leave the coconut milk in there and follow the recipe exactly. It shouldn't be to strong that you'd really taste it. It really helps to meld the flavors. Taking it out will really change the outcome.
Depends on what kind of curry you want.
Thai curries are commonly made with coconut milk, and really need it to meld all the flavors together, and it's usually difficult to really discern the coconut flavor individually amongst all the others.
Indian curries rarely use coconut milk, but they are also a different flavor/kind of curry altogether. The creaminess in Indian curries are usually yogurt based.
Actually you can make it without the coconut milk. How exactly do you want it? My boyfriend is asian and sometimes he makes this chicken with curry flavor to die for and it's bake. 
Do you want regular curry style? We have all kind of asian spices. He also cooks one kind of curry that doesn't call for coconut milk, with sauce. Can you let me know?
Bye!
Sory.

Sorry I just say this thread. I dont venture in to the lounge much. I make curry chicken without the coconut milk. Sorry to inform you, I dont have a recipe for it. I just know how to make it no measurements LOL...
Anyway here is what I do.
I finely chop a medium onion and place it in the pot with a about A tablespoon of olive oil. And i add about an inch of fresh ginger that's been finely chopped as well. Let them sweat (the onions will go transparent as opposed to being carmelized). Add 4 tablespoons of curry powder. I use McCormick's or curry powder from the West Indies if I have it. Add about a table spoon of water to form a paste and then add your chicken. I like to use chicken with The bone in there is more flavor. Stir the chicken to coat then add about half a cup of hot water to the pot. Add some salt and pepper. And put the lid on the pot and let it all simmer. The chicken will spring more water. So just need to check it occasionally to check the water level. I let mine simmer for about 1-2 hours and close to the end I add a diced potato this will thicken it up a bit plus it's really tasty. During cooking I like taste at various stages and I adjust the flavor by adding more curry powder or more hot west indian pepper sauce.
When it's close to finish you can remove the bones from the pot.
It can be served over rice or try it with a roti.
OK ok ok... next time I make it, I will measure stuff. Sorry I just watched my mom and other relatives make it so I can just eyeball stuff.
Ditto what Cake Princess said.
Ditto on the measuring too!!

When I lived in florida I had a friend show me how to make it using a different kind of curry that came in sort of a brick and you preak it up and put it in the chicken. It was really good! Can't find it in NY though

You can make chicken curry without the coconut milk. In Jamaica we make it without milk. You season the chicken with curry powder, we add salt and pepper (to taste), green onion, thyme, fresh garlic and I also use fresh ginger.
Braise/Brown the chicken in about 2 tbsp oil, add about 1-2 cups water (enough to cover) allow the water to boil, reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. You can also add potatoes to water. Hope this helps.
Hi,
Just saw your thread. I am Indian, and love to cook. I have a website with all our family favourites.... I created the site, a few years ago, just for our family who are scattered around the world. But I would be happy to send you the URL if you would like it. I have quite a few curries on the site.

Hello, JennT! There are a lot of ways to make, and you don't have to use coconut milk. My boyfriend buys for me to use some boxes of "S&B Golden Curry" sauce mix (cubes), these make a delicious curry, with no milk. All you have to do is stir fry the meat with the seasonings and spices you use add enough water and let cook on medium- low heat. Well.., the box has the instructions anyway. Hope this can help!! Good Luck!
Bye!
Sory.
P.S.: I tried to add an attachment with a picture of the box, so you could have an idea on how it looks, but I don't have the authorization. I'll try to get it.

Hi Karen I wouldn't mind taking a look at those recipes. I have tried curry chicken and loved it but never tried to make it.
