Chicken Curry is a flavorful and aromatic dish made with tender chicken simmered in a rich sauce of onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of warm spices. It’s a comforting and versatile dish enjoyed across many cultures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup coconut milk or plain yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes and stir well to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in coconut milk or stir in yogurt, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by increasing or omitting the cayenne pepper.
  • For a creamier sauce, use full-fat coconut milk or Greek yogurt.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
