Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons madras curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the ginger, and cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the madras curry powder and turmeric powder, stirring continuously to combine with the onion mixture for about 1 minute.
Add the cut chicken thighs to the pan, stirring well to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.
Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice and the coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and let the curry cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
If the curry is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly chicken madras curry with cauliflower rice or your choice of low-carb accompaniment.
