Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Can opener

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 large onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk 14 ounces
  • 1 can tomato paste 6 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, ground turmeric, garam masala, ground cumin, and chili powder if using. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and become fragrant.
  • Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the curry simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season the curry with salt and black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

For a spicier curry, increase the amount of chili powder or add fresh chopped chilies.
Serve over cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
