- 1 Onion (large, finely chopped)
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (fresh, minced)
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 0.25 cup Mango or apricot chutney (store-bought or homemade)

- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (for garnish, chopped)

Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until golden and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring to coat in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken begins to brown.
Stir in the chutney, coconut milk, and chicken stock. Add salt to taste.
Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a bit more chutney for sweetness or chili powder for spice, as desired.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or your preferred side dish.
