Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic cloves, and grating the ginger.

  2. 2

    Brown the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Spices and Coconut Milk

    Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Chicken

    Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the cooked chicken before serving. Enjoy your curried chicken with rice or naan!
