Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Spicy Tomato Coconut Chicken Curry:
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and red chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, stirring to coat them with the spices. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Tomatoes and Coconut Milk: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and absorb the flavors.
7. Season and Serve: Taste the curry and add salt as needed. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick.
