Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Chicken Curry
  1. In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, cooking them for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Introduce 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the skillet. Toast these spices for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
  5. Add 1 pound of chicken breast pieces to the skillet, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

  8. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving. Pair with fluffy basmati rice or warm naan.
