Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 Green chili
• 10 Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 cup Grated coconut
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and ginger. Slit the green chilies lengthwise.

Step 3

Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds to the hot oil, followed by curry leaves, and stir for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 6

Add the ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the mixture.

Step 8

Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer pink on the outside.

Step 10

Add the grated coconut and mix well into the chicken.

Step 11

Cover the pan and let it cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 12

Remove the lid, add garam masala, and stir to combine. Increase the heat to evaporate any excess moisture, ensuring the dish is relatively dry (sukha).

Step 13

Turn off the heat, squeeze lime juice over the dish, and mix.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
