Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium sweet yellow onion (diced)
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into small pieces)
2 1/4 Tablespoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
15 ounces full fat unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 Tablespoon non-dairy milk
Jasmine or Basmati rice for serving

Steps:

  • Place the olive oil and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the onion starts to brown, about 10-15 minutes. (You want it to brown, it adds a lot of flavor to the sauce).
  • Once the onion has started to brown, add the chicken and the spices. Cook over medium heat.
  • When the chicken is mostly cooked through, add the canned coconut milk. Stir well. Continue to simmer until the chicken is done and the sauce is fragrant, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk and stir. Put the corn starch and the tablespoon of non-dairy milk in a small container and shake to remove lumps. Drizzle this mixture into the pan and stir.
  • Continue to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Serve over Jasmine or Basmati rice. Top with green onions or red pepper flakes if desired.
