Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs Boneless Chicken Thighs Fat removed
  • 1 pc Big Red Onion Diced
  • 2 pc Big Tomatoes Diced
  • 1 tbsp Ghee
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 tbsp Ginger Minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Garam Masala
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Optional
  • Coriander or Cilantro

Instructions

  • Dice the onion and tomatoes.
  • In high heat, melt the ghee in your pan and saute the onions.
  • Once it has cooked down, gradually add water to caramelize it until it’s beautifully golden brown. Season with salt.
  • Add the tomatoes, and similarly cook it down until lightly brown. Season with salt.
  • Once the tomatoes are lightly brown, add garlic and ginger and continue to cook them down until it has a pastelike consistency.
  • Add curry powder and garam masala, and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, then add water and coconut milk.
  • Cover the pan and let the chicken cook for 5-10 minutes. Afterward, turn to low heat, flip the chicken, cover, and leave for another 5-10 minutes.
  • Add butter and heavy cream if you like it creamy.
  • This is optional, but after cooking, let the chicken sit in the sauce for 1 hour so it really absorbs the sauce.
  • Serve over rice or bread and enjoy!
