It has been a while since I had posted an Indian chicken curry recipe here and it was about time, don’t you think?
I have to confess I was playing around with ingredients and flavors for a while.
Understanding the different effects of spices is a challenge I enjoy and I love preparing a deep flavorful Indian chicken curry!
When I was introduced to spices the Indian way, I was overwhelmed by the number of different flavors and shocked that one could throw them all together in a pot.
I know my Indian friends will chuckle at the thought of my face turning red while eating a spicy hot dish, but a Westerner might understand my first reaction.
It took a few years and pure food love and I was a changed person.
In fact, I am pretty much alright with most Indian dishes as you can see (pun intended!)

Easy Indian Chicken Curry Recipe
Ingredients
- 1-2 Tablespoon Oil
- 1 Onion sliced
- 1 Tomato diced
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger + Garlic *see Notes
- 1 pound skinless Chicken parts with bones aka chicken curry cuts, about 1/2 of a small Chicken
- 1 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
- 1 cup Broth
- 3 Tablespoon Garam Masala
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- Salt to taste
- Juice of 1 Lime
- Cilantro aka Coriander greens
Instructions
- Add the oil to a cooking pot and heat up. Throw in the sliced onion. Stir fry for a minute or until the onion turns a bit translucent. Then add the Tomato and stir fry as well.
- Reduce the heat and add the ginger garlic and stir cook for a few seconds on low heat so that the contents of the pot get mixed up.
- Add your chicken pieces and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the Coconut milk.
- Add the garam masala and black pepper. Mix everything well.
- Cook on slow heat (slow so that it doesn’t curdle) for about 15 minutes uncovered or until the curry has reduced and thickened and the chicken has cooked and the flavors have incorporated.
