Ingredients

  • 12 chicken bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (approx. 3 pounds)

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped

  • 5 garlic cloves

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh ginger

  • 1 tbsp madras curry powder

Directions

  • In a food processor, blend together the onion, garlic, ginger curry powder, cinnamon, chili flakes, cilantro until a smooth paste forms.
  • Put the paste on the chicken, toss well until all the chicken pieces are coated, and let sit for a few minutes, or longer.

  • Whisk the coconut milk well with the turmeric, salt, pepper and broth. Pour into the pan. Bring to a boil.
