Chicken Curry - Indian Style

Step 1: Sauté Onions

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Add 2 chopped onions and sauté until golden, stirring occasionally.

Step 2: Add Aromatics

Add 3 cloves of grated garlic and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger to the pan. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook Tomatoes

Add 4 chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and break down, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 4: Add Curry Powder

Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for 2 minutes, ensuring it's well combined with the tomato mixture.

Step 5: Brown Chicken

Add 900g (2 pounds) of chicken breast, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the pan. Stir to coat the chicken and cook until it turns golden brown on all sides.

Step 6: Simmer Chicken

Cover the pan and cook the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 7: Add Water and Cook

Pour in 3/4 cup of water, stir well, then cover the pan and let it cook for 10 minutes.

Step 8: Add Coconut Cream

Stir in 1 can (400g/14oz) of coconut cream or milk, ensuring it's fully incorporated into the curry.

Step 9: Season and Thicken

Add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir and continue to cook until the curry has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 10: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the finished chicken curry with freshly chopped coriander. Serve hot with white rice.
