Directions

Step 1

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

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. These will form the base of your curry paste.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Add the tomato paste to the pan and stir well to combine all the ingredients, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken stock, stirring continuously to incorporate the paste with the liquid.

Step 8

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, ensuring they are submerged evenly within the sauce.

Step 9

Simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 10

Remove the pan from heat and gently stir in the low-fat yogurt. Make sure it is well blended to achieve a creamy consistency.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
