Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 can coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until melted.
  2. Sauté finely chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for an additional minute.
  3. Stir in curry powder, ground cumin, and turmeric; toast the spices for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add chicken chunks to the skillet, stirring well to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook until browned on all sides (around 5–7 minutes).
