Ingredients

2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cubed
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1 GF chicken bouillon cube
2 tablespoons tomato paste
14 oz coconut milk
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2-3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1

Heat the avocado oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for another minute.

2

Add the chicken and cook until chicken is browned.

3

Add the curry powder, cumin, and salt and cook for another 30 seconds.

4

Stir in the water, bouillon cube, tomato paste, coconut milk and sugar. Simmer on medium high for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken has cooked through and sauce is thickened.

5

Make a slurry with 2 tablespoons water and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir into the sauce until it's thickened to your liking. You may not need all of it.

6

Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed.

7

Stir in chopped cilantro, reserving some for garnish if desired. Serve over rice.

Rachelle's tip ♡

Add the cornstarch slurry a little at a time. Depending on how long the curry simmers, you may not need all of it.
