Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.

    Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a pot and sauté the garlic and ginger.

  4. 4

    Once fragrant, add the chicken and sauté. (It's okay to just brown the surface as it will be simmered later.)

  5. 5

    When the chicken is browned, add the onion and sauté.

  6. 6

    When the onion becomes translucent, add the canned tomatoes and use the can to measure and add water.

  7. 7

    Simmer over medium heat, skimming off any foam, until the chicken is cooked through.

  8. 8

    Once the chicken is cooked, turn off the heat, break the curry roux into pieces, add it to the pot, and mix roughly. Then, heat again.

  9. 9

    Once the roux is dissolved, add the milk and heavy cream and heat through. (Reserve a little heavy cream for garnishing at the end.)

  10. 10

    Add the butter, and once melted, it's ready. Serve in a dish and drizzle with the reserved heavy cream to taste.
