How to Make Beginner's Curry
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes. Simmer until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Turn off the heat and stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of plain yogurt, if desired.
