Begin by washing and peeling the turnips, then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Cut the chicken thighs into similar bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Introduce the minced garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric powder, stirring continually for about a minute to toast the spices.
Add the chicken pieces to the spice mixture, stirring well to coat, and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.
Stir in the turnip chunks, followed by the coconut milk and chicken broth.
Season with salt and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot and allow it to cook for approximately 25 minutes, or until the turnips are tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Remove the pot from heat and garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve the curry hot, with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top as desired.
