Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Chicken Curry
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add one finely chopped medium onion, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft.
  2. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder, toasting the spices for an additional minute.
  3. Introduce 1 pound of diced boneless, skinless chicken breast to the skillet and brown for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden.
  4. Pour in 1 can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk and season with salt to taste. Stir well, bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 15 minutes.
  5. Add 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced, to the simmering curry and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring gently.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice or warm naan.
