Shrimp Or Chicken Curry

Directions

1. 1
   Place oil in a large skillet; turn heat to medium-high.
2. 2
   A minute later, add onions, along with a generous pinch of salt and some pepper.
3. 3
   Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and almost falling apart, 15 minutes or more.
4. 4
   Stir in curry powder, and cook, stirring, for another minute or so.
5. 5
   Add coconut milk, and cook until it thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. 6
   Add shrimp or chicken, and stir, then cook until done, 3 to 6 minutes.
7. 7
   (Shrimp cooks a little faster than chicken; if you are in doubt about whether chicken is done, cut into a piece.)
8. 8
   Add tomato, and cook another minute; adjust seasonings as necessary.
9. 9
   Serve over rice, garnished with basil or mint.
