Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 200 grams tomato puree
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato puree, coconut milk, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir to combine.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
