Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 4 large cloves garlic
- 1 (1-inch piece) fresh ginger
- 1 small jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 6 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- Kosher salt, To Taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, To Taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional), for serving
- Toasted almond slices, (optional) for serving
Method
Step 1
In a food processor or high speed blender, pulse onion, garlic, ginger, jalapeño, and fennel seeds together until a smooth paste forms. Set aside.
Step 2
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and place thighs, skin side down in pan. Cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown and crispy, about 8-11 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. Once crispy, turn thighs over and cook until bottom sides are slightly cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove thighs from skillet and set aside on a paper-towel lined plate.
Step 4
In the skillet with residual chicken fat, cook onion mixture. Once golden brown, about 5 minutes, add curry powder, garam masala, cumin, and salt. Cook until fragrant, another 2 minutes. Add almond milk and chicken broth and cook for about 5 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Add chicken thighs and cook on medium heat until chicken is fully cooked through, 7-8 minutes. Add fresh lime juice, then top with fresh cilantro and toasted almonds and serve immediately.
