Ingredients

  • 500g boneless chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin to the pan, and stir well to combine. Cook for a minute or two until the spices are fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pan, and stir well to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Tips for a Successful Chicken Curry

Here are a few tips to ensure your chicken curry is a hit with the whole family:

  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your family’s taste. If they prefer milder flavors, use less; if they like a bit more heat, use more.
  • Don’t rush the cooking process. Letting the curry simmer for a while allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the curry with rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
