Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil should shimmer lightly as it heats.
  2. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until lightly browned, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, ground cinnamon, paprika, bay leaf, grated ginger, sugar, and salt. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes to awaken the spices.
  4. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the mix, followed by the tomato paste, yogurt, and coconut milk—this will form a rich, creamy sauce.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook thoroughly.
  6. Remove the bay leaf from the pot, then stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Serve your aromatic chicken curry hot and enjoy every savory bite!

Notes

Use fresh spices for deeper flavors. Marinating chicken in yogurt can enhance tenderness. Serve with fresh cilantro for extra freshness.
