Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  5. Sprinkle in the curry powder, mixing well.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine.

Notes

Ensure your chicken is cut evenly for uniform cooking. Adjust the heat level by adding chili powder for spice. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer without a lid. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
