Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 chicken breasts (about 1 pound total, cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
sea salt and pepper
1 yellow onion (peeled and chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coriander, cumin, paprika, cardamom, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil. When oil is hot, add chicken pieces. Be sure they do not touch. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Brown chicken, then cook until opaque. Remove from pan to a plate. Set aside.
  • If needed, add more oil to pan. Add onions and cook them until they just start browning on the edges.
  • Stir in the mixture of spices. Cook for about two minutes, stirring constantly, to toast spices.
  • Add fresh ginger, tomato paste and cream to the skillet, stirring to mix thoroughly. Add the chicken into the sauce. Increase heat to medium to bring the mixture to a simmer, then turn the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to desired consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
