Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken thighs into 3 cm pieces. Finely chop the onion; grate the garlic and ginger.

  2. 2

    Heat the sunflower oil in a large pot and cook the onion over medium heat for 8 minutes until golden, then add the garlic and ginger for 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Stir in the curry powder, turmeric and cumin for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken and stir for 5 minutes, until coated in the spices and no longer pink on the outside.

  5. 5

    Add the canned tomatoes, coconut milk, water and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer partly covered over low heat for 25 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is tender.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat, rest for 5 minutes and serve hot.
