A comforting, flavorful chicken curry with a blend of spices and creamy coconut milk, perfect for weeknight dinners or festive gatherings.

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 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onions: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Brown the chicken: Introduce the bite-sized chicken pieces into the pot, ensuring they are spread out evenly. Brown them on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Incorporate tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
  5. Mix in coconut milk and spices: Stir in the coconut milk along with curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Simmer together: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes.
  7. Season to taste: Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
  8. Garnish and enjoy: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, paired with rice or naan.

Notes

Curry tastes better the next day, allowing flavors to meld. Can be made vegetarian by substituting chicken with chickpeas or vegetables.
