Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 400 ml coconut cream
- 250 ml chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, and season them with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mince the garlic and ginger, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Sprinkle curry powder over the onion mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour in the coconut cream and chicken broth, stirring to mix.
Add red chili flakes and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the browned chicken to the skillet and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
