• 1 medium onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 2 tablespoons madras curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 400 grams canned tomatoes
• 200 milliliters coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: finely chop the onion and garlic, grate the ginger, and cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the madras curry powder and turmeric powder, stirring continuously to combine with the onion mixture for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the cut chicken thighs to the pan, stirring well to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Step 6

Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice and the coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pan and let the curry cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

If the curry is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly chicken madras curry with cauliflower rice or your choice of low-carb accompaniment.
