Instructions
- Saute Onions - Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Add onions and sauté until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken and sauté until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes. You don’t have to cook it through at this point.
- Build Flavor - Add minced garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the chicken is coated and the mixture is fragrant.
- Make the Sauce - Add yogurt, coconut cream, almond flour, and sugar and stir to combine. Bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced to your desired thickness.
- Stir in the heavy cream and return to a simmer, then remove from heat. Season to taste with salt (I added an extra ¼ tsp salt).
- Serve over white rice if desired and garnish with cilantro.
Notes
- *Do not shake the coconut milk can - this will make it easier to scoop off the rich cream portion at the top of the can for the sauce.
