Instructions
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and fresh ginger.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Add the coconut milk to the skillet, stirring well to combine the spices into a rich curry sauce.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the chicken pieces. Stir to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook in the simmering curry for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Taste the curry and adjust the salt or spice levels if necessary.
Garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy! This curry pairs well with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
