Method

Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add diced onion, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken and Coconut Milk

    Once the vegetables are cooked, add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until browned. Then, pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Finish with Fresh Cilantro

    Before serving, stir in chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.

Rice Preparation

  1. 5

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed basmati rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 7

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
