Ingredients:
500g boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
1 medium tomato, chopped
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro (coriander) for garnish
Cooked basmati rice or naan bread, to serve
Instructions:
Prepare the base: Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden and soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add aromatics: Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Toast the spices: Sprinkle the mild curry powder over the onion mixture and stir well to coat the ingredients evenly. Toast the spices gently for about 1 minute to enhance their aroma.
Cook the chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pan and stir to coat with the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken starts to brown slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add tomato and coconut milk: Stir in the chopped tomato and pour in the coconut milk. Mix well, bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer: Reduce heat to low and let the curry simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
Season: Add salt to taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot over basmati rice or with warm naan bread.
Tips for Enjoying Curry Powder:
Mild curry powder is incredibly versatile. You can experiment by adding it to roasted vegetables, soups, lentil dishes, or even egg-based recipes like omelets and frittatas. Using it as a dry rub for grilling or roasting meats also delivers excellent flavor with a mild warmth.
When cooking with curry powder, it’s best to add it early in the cooking process to allow the spices to bloom in oil, releasing their full aroma and flavor. Pairing it with creamy ingredients like coconut milk or yogurt helps balance the spices and creates a rich, comforting dish.
