Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons coconut oil, or avocado oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
12 fresh curry leaves
2 green chiles, halved lengthwise
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons tandoori masala
1 cup crushed tomato
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
2 teaspoons tamarind paste, or lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
steamed rice, for serving
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
kashmiri chile powder, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a wide-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the mustard seeds and cook until just beginning to pop, 30-60 seconds. Add the curry leaves and let crisp for 30 seconds, then add the green chiles and sauté for 30 seconds more, until fragrant.
  • Add the red onions and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the tandoori masala and cook for 1 minute, until lightly toasted.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, until well combined.
  • Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat the chicken well with the spiced tomato mixture and cook until no longer pink.
  • Add the coconut milk, tamarind paste, and sugar and stir well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the oil begins to separate from the sauce.
  • Spoon the curry over steamed rice. Garnish with cilantro and a sprinkle of chile powder, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
