Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken cut into bites sized pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 28 ounces diced tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion, season with salt, and cook until it is translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the chicken. Cook until the outside of the chicken is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. No need to cook the chicken all the way through.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add in the diced tomatoes and the lemon juice, scraping up the browned bits.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer for 5 more minutes. You should see consistent bubbles, about the size of small grapes.
  • Serve over rice and with naan and enjoy!
