Ingredients
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 kg chicken thigh fillets, cut into 5-cm pieces
- 40 g (½ cup) smooth peanut butter
- 400 g can chopped tomatoes
- 400 ml can coconut milk
- ½ tsp sugar
- salt, to season
- coriander leaves, lemon wedges, ground salted peanuts and steamed rice, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy–based saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes or until very fragrant and starting to brown. Add the ground spices and chilli and stir well to combine well.
- Add the chicken and stir to coat. Add the peanut butter, tomatoes, coconut milk and sugar and stir well. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is very tender. If the sauce thickens a bit too much you can add a little water.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as required. Scatter with coriander and serve with lemon wedges, a sprinkling of ground peanuts and steamed rice if you like. The curry is better if left to cool and then reheated, but it can be eaten straight away as well.
