Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop green chilies, potatoes and measure out the garam masala.

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add green chilies, potatoes to the pan and cook until softened, 6 minutes.

Stir in garam masala, curry leaves, coconut milk and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the basmati rice according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 15 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over basmati rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
