["Heat a large pot on medium-low; add coconut and stir occasionally until the coconut toasts to a shade of caramel. Resist urge to eat handfuls of the coconut.", "While the coconut is toasting, cube the chicken breasts into 1"" chunks. Dump the toasted coconut into a bowl and add all of the dry spices to the pot; dry-roast the spices for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add olive oil and turn heat up to medium, then add in the chicken. Stir to coat all of the cubes with the spiced oil.", "While the chicken starts cooking, chop up your sweet potatoes, onion, and cauliflower. Whisk the curry paste into the milk (and broth, if using); add the coconut, veggies, and liquid to the pot -- in that order.", "Stir thoroughly, turn heat up a bit, and ignore for the next 35-40 minutes. If you're really OCD, you can stir it one more time in the middle.", "After the curry's been ignored for the first 15 minutes, pop the rice and 3 c. water in the rice cooker (I spice mine with a lavish amount of turmeric and cumin). Serve together!"]
