Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs
  • 2 cans Coconut Milk
  • 1 large Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Curry Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin Powder
  • 1 small head Cauliflower
  • 1 cup Green Beans

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2Dice the 1 large onion. Mince the 4 cloves of garlic and the 1 inch of ginger. Grate the small head of cauliflower. Cut the 1 cup of green beans into 1-inch pieces.
  3. 3Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until it looks soft and see-through.
  4. 4Add the minced garlic and minced ginger to the pot. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell their fragrance.
  5. 5Add the 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for 1 minute, until the spices smell toasted.
  6. 6Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces to the pot. Stir them to coat with the spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces, until they are browned on all sides.
  7. 7Pour in the 2 cans of coconut milk. Stir to combine everything in the pot and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, which is when small bubbles appear around the edges. Add the grated cauliflower and the 1-inch pieces of green beans.
  8. 8Cover the pot with a lid. Reduce the heat to low (250°F / 120°C) and cook for 25-30 minutes. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables should be tender when poked with a fork.
  9. 9Serve the Keto Malaysian Curry Chicken hot.
