Ingredients
- 1 lb of chicken thighs (boneless, skinless, cut into small pieces)
- One 14 oz tin of coconut milk
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- Salt and chili powder to taste (add more if necessary)
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing (optional)
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Cook the Aromatics: Add the onions, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Cook until the onion is transparent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Spices: Mix in curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder. Let it cook for another minute until the spice flavors come out strongly.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides; usually, 5-7 minutes will do.
- Add In The Coconut Milk: The coconut milk should then be added to the skillet, stirring until it is fully combined with the other ingredients. As soon as the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, lower the heat until it becomes extremely low. While covered, cook for about a quarter of an hour or so, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Serve and Garnish: Once cooked, remove from heat. Serve hot by garnishing the coconut curry chicken with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges if desired.
