Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 ml Coconut milk (light)
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 100 ml Water
- 1 small Green chili (optional, for spiciness)
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and green chili (if using).
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add curry powder, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and toast the spices for 1 minute.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken turns white on the outside.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the curry is slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer more spice, add the optional green chili at this stage.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or a side of your choice.
