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

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

  • Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent.

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

  • Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes, browning them on all sides.

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

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

  • Reduce heat and let the curry simmer for about 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

Notes

  • Don’t rush the spices—cooking the curry powder briefly enhances its aroma and depth.

  • Adjust thickness by simmering longer for a thicker sauce or adding a splash of water if needed.

  • Make it spicier by adding chili flakes or a chopped fresh chili with the garlic and ginger.

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