Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, sautéing until it’s translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until they release their rich aromas, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  3. Mix in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric. Allow the spices to cook for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously until they become fragrant.
  4. Toss the chicken pieces into the pot, browning them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomato paste. Season generously with salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
  6. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  7. Ladle the aromatic chicken curry into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
