Aromatic spices dancing in your kitchen, tender chicken swimming in silky coconut milk - this is curry at its finest. Our version features a quick yogurt marinade for tender chicken, the essential technique of dry-toasting spices to unlock their full potential, and a finish that balances heat with creamy richness perfectly.
In a bowl, marinate chicken pieces in Greek yogurt for 15-20 minutes - this tenderizes beautifully!
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, sauté onions until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Here comes the magic - add cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne. Toast for 30 seconds until aromatic and your kitchen smells incredible!
Stir in diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
Return chicken to pan, add coconut milk, salt, and pepper.
Simmer gently for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve over rice - prepare for compliments!

been craving a good curry recipe, this one looks perfect for meal prep
finally a curry i can make at home that actually tastes authentic. the spice toasting step is key
Super bon et pas compliqué du tout. La sauce au lait de coco c’est trop bien. J’ai servi avec du riz basmati, ma famille a tout dévoré.
Amazing! 🍛
Todella hyvä! Helppo tehdä ja maku oli täydellinen. Laitoin vähän enemmän cayennea koska tykkään tulisesta.
this curry is legit. the yogurt marinade makes the chicken so tender. my roommates thought i ordered from a restaurant
