Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes
• 200 milliliters Coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime Lime, wedges for serving

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and ground black pepper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder to the pan, stirring well to coat the onions and release the spices' aromas.

Step 5

Toss in the seasoned chicken pieces, stirring to combine them with the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

Step 6

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

Step 8

Uncover the pan, stir in the coconut cream, and simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve the Chicken Madras hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
