Ingredients:
– 1 pound of chicken breast, cut into chunks
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons curry powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
– 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
– Season the chicken chunks with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Cook the Aromatics:
– In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
– Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and continue to cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Spices:
– Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast and become aromatic.
4. Cook the Chicken:
– Add the seasoned chicken chunks to the pot, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5. Create the Curry Sauce:
– Pour in the coconut milk, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Simmer the Curry:
– Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the curry for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
7. Final Adjustments:
– Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve:
– Ladle the chicken curry into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot with rice or naan bread on the side.
