  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika or chilli powder (optional for heat)
  • 600g boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh coriander, for garnish
  • Cooked rice, to serve
  • Sauté the aromatics:
    Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5–6 minutes until soft and golden. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add spices and chicken:
    Stir in curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned.

    Add liquids and simmer:
    Stir in the tomato paste and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat, and cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

    Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve hot with fluffy rice or warm naan.
