Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 medium Tomato, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and stir for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until the tomato is soft and oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 9

Remove the lid, add garam masala, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate and the chicken to become dry.

Step 10

Finish by adding lemon juice, black pepper, and fresh cilantro. Stir well.

Step 11

Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Serve hot.
