Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the spices from burning.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, add the lemon juice. Stir and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Remove from heat and let the curry sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 14

Serve the Dairy-Free Boneless Chicken Curry over rice or with flatbreads for a complete meal.
