Sri Lankan Chicken Curry
  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.

  2. Add garlic, ginger, and green chillies. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic.

  3. Add turmeric, curry powder , cumin, paprika, chilli powder, and cinnamon. Stir constantly for 1 minute to release the aromas.

  4. Add the chicken breast pieces and stir to coat well. Cook for just 3–4 minutes until lightly seared on the outside. Add a splash of water if you need to release any burnt bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. Add tomato purée, light coconut milk, and salt. Stir thoroughly and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to thicken and develop the flavours.

  6. Season with a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with fresh coriander.
