About me

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Ghee or Avocado Oil or Oil of your choice
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 inch cinnamon
  • 1/2 kg Boneless Chicken Thigh
  • 1 large Onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp Curry powder
  • 2 large tomatoes chopped
  • salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Milk

Method

  • In a large, deep pan, heat your chosen oil or ghee over medium heat.
  • Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and cumin seeds. Cook for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until softened and golden brown.
  • Add all the dry spices (turmeric, coriander, chili, and curry powder) and cook for another minute, stirring constantly to release the flavors. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent burning.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat slightly and add the chicken pieces. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to brown the chicken.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and coconut milk. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
  • Garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves (optional) and serve hot with naan bread or rice.
