– 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
– 2 limes, juiced and zested

Kitchen Tools

Preparation

Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with curry powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened. Pour in the coconut milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the flavors meld together.

Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, sauté the grated cauliflower until tender but still slightly crunchy. Sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.

Tips

For an extra kick of heat, add a chopped red chili pepper to the curry. It will take the flavor up a notch!
