Ingredients

Scale

Scale: 1x | 2x | 3x

  • 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder

  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic and ginger.

  2. Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent.

  3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  4. Add the chicken thighs and brown them on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  5. Stir in the curry powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices.

  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

  7. Let the curry simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs: They stay juicier and more flavorful than chicken breast.

  • Adjust spice level: Add chili powder or fresh chili if you prefer extra heat.

  • Thicker sauce: Simmer a few extra minutes if you want a richer, thicker curry.

  • Make ahead: This curry tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
