Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 onion, diced, and cook until it's translucent and starting to caramelize. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 2 inches of grated ginger and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
2
Add 2 teaspoons of cumin powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
3
Add 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs to the pan and cook until it's browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
4
Add 2 cups of tomato puree to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Add 1 cup of coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your liking.
5
Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and stir to combine with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is coated in the sauce. Season with salt to taste.
