Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cinnamon stick, halved
6 cardamom pods
1 cup basmati rice, soaked for 10 minutes
2 cups water
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch cayenne, optional
½ cup plain full-fat greek yogurt
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
¼ cup water
lime wedge
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the basmati rice: Melt the coconut oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods and sauté for 2 minutes, until toasty and aromatic.
  • Add the soaked basmati rice, water, and salt. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, until the rice is fluffy. Remove from the heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and remove the cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. Set aside.
  • In a large pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, until onion is light golden brown.
  • Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until toasty and aromatic.
  • Add the tomato paste, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and cayenne and stir to combine.
  • Add the yogurt and chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
  • Add the water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and continue to cook, tossing the chicken occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the curry sauce has thickened to your liking.
  • Serve the chicken and sauce over the rice with lime wedges and cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
