  • 3 tbsp Madras curry powder the heart of this dish, lending bold, aromatic flavor.
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes adds acidity and a touch of freshness to the curry sauce.

Method
 

Cooking Process
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant for approximately 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the Madras curry powder and cook for another minute to release the aromatic flavors.
  3. Add protein of your choice, whether it’s the boneless chicken thighs or chickpeas. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, stirring regularly for even cooking.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Stir everything well and then let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed.
  6. Serve hot over rice or alongside naan bread, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
