Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

    Chop the onion, dice the tomato, and mince the garlic. Grate the ginger and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

    Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper, mixing well to coat the chicken and vegetables.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and add the diced tomato. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
