Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 large Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 200 milliliters Tomato puree
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute.
Add the turmeric, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder to the pan, stirring for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes thick and slightly darker.
Add the chicken pieces to the pan, tossing them to coat in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown on the outside.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
