Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in the curry powder and turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  5. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Coconut Milk

    Pour in the diced tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. 6

    Simmer the Curry

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the curry simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  7. 7

    Finish and Garnish

    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
