Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil , such as grapeseed or avocado oil, or ghee
- 1 cup yellow onion , small diced

Instructions
- Add the oil to a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and ginger, stir, and sauté for 1 minute, stirring to make sure the garlic and ginger don’t burn. Add the chili powder, coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, and salt, and stir to coat, cooking for 2 more minutes. Add the bay leaf, coconut milk, and puréed tomatoes. Add the chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes. To serve, add a squeeze of lime and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with basmati rice and garlic naan on the side.
