Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 large tomato
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk

  • 6 skinless chicken thighs
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1-1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp roasted cumin

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a spacious deep skillet, warm the oil over medium heat.

    Pour in the diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, coconut milk, and water.

  5. 5

    Combine all the ingredients, then cover the skillet and let it simmer on medium-low heat until the chicken is fully cooked, which should take approximately 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the diced potatoes along with an extra 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and continue to simmer with the lid on for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
