Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1/2 inch chunks or strips. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice the onion and crush the 2 cloves of garlic.
- Whisk oil, curry powder, and cayenne in a large skillet over medium-high heat for five minutes. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 10 minutes more or until onions are very clear. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat with curry oil.
- Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in center and juices run clear.

- Add potatoes to the simmering chicken, then stir in coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped cilantro, and sugar. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes or until sauce thickens.
- Serve Coconut Chicken Curry over white, brown, basmati or jasmine rice.
Notes
