Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)

• coconut milk (1 can)
• onion (1, diced)
• garlic (3 cloves, minced)

Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Next, add the curry powder and cook for another minute to toast the spices. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear on all sides until browned.

Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, and pumpkin puree, stirring well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer the stew for about 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Add the diced bell pepper in the last 5 minutes of cooking to keep it slightly crunchy.

Once the stew is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1500g. This recipe serves 4, with each serving weighing around 375g. Each serving is approximately 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of lime juice at the end for a burst of freshness and acidity that complements the rich flavors of the stew perfectly.
