Ingredients:

• • 4 chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 1 can (400ml) coconut milk

Instructions:

• • Marinate the Chicken:
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with lime juice, salt, pepper, turmeric, and cumin. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Sauté the Aromatics:
  • In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
• Brown the Chicken:
  • Add the marinated chicken to the pot and brown it on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
