Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 can 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Cooked jasmine rice for serving
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine and toast the spices for about 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, then add the fish sauce and brown sugar. Stir well to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing the curry to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Stir in the chopped spinach and lime juice, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the curry over cooked jasmine rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
