Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 medium ripe mango
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the mangoes. Blend one mango into a smooth puree and set aside. Dice the second mango into small cubes for garnish and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the onion finely, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 3

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and chili powder (if using). Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes to bloom their flavors.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to coat the chicken.

Step 9

Pour in the mango puree and coconut milk. Stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

If the sauce is too thick, add up to 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency.

Step 11

Stir in the garam masala, lime juice, and salt to taste. Allow the curry to simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish the curry with the diced mango and fresh cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice or naan for a complete meal.
