Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with half of the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is marinating, chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, remaining curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  4. 6

    Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

  5. 7

    Final Touches

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, stir in chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
