Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup Ripe mangoes (pureed)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder (optional, adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 whole Lime (cut into wedges, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring frequently, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, and red chili powder (if using). Cook the spices for 1 minute to release their aromas.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are lightly browned on the outside, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the mango puree and coconut milk, mixing well to combine with the spices and chicken.

Step 8

Season with salt and bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 9

Taste the curry and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or spice if needed.

Step 10

Garnish the curry with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve warm with steamed rice or naan bread, and lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
