Ingredients

  • 500g chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides.
  3. Sprinkle the curry powder over the chicken and stir to coat the pieces evenly.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the curry is simmering, rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a separate pot, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  6. Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the Namibian Chicken Curry over the coconut rice and enjoy!
