Instructions
- Prepare the chicken and the ginger. (To julienne is to cut into fine matchsticks).
- Put a heavy-bottomed saucepan or a wok on the stove and heat up the oil. You can use olive oil, but for an authentic taste, we recommend coconut oil.
- When the oil is hot but not smoking, add in the julienned ginger.
- Once the ginger is sizzling, add in the curry leaves. Careful! They’ll sizzle, so step away from the stove. Fry the leaves until they’re crisp.
- Add in the chicken and season generously with salt and black pepper. Let the chicken cook for a couple of minutes on high heat without touching it. The chicken should have a golden brown color on the outside.
- Add the coconut milk to the pot, then cover with a lid and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Take the lid off and taste the sauce. Add salt and pepper if needed.
- Spoon curry into a bowl and top it with chopped cilantro.
No curry leaves or lime leaves?
You can use lime zest and a bit of dried basil. Taste and adjust while the chicken is simmering.
