Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Chicken Curry
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add one chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent, releasing its sweet aroma.
  2. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the mixture is fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of curry powder, ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder, stirring continuously for another minute to awaken the spices.
  4. Introduce 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces, to the skillet. Sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned on all sides.
  5. Pour in one can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk and add 1 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  6. Allow the curry to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Carefully fold in 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced, into the curry. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mango is heated through but still retains its shape.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan.
