- 2 nos Onions big
- 5-6 nos Garlic pods
- 1/2" piece Ginger
- 5 tsp Pepper — powdered
- Salt, to taste
- 4 tbsp Oil

Heat the oil in a pan.

Step 4
Add the chicken pieces and stir.

Do not boil the curry hard after adding coconut milk. A gentle simmer is all you need — vigorous boiling can cause the coconut milk to split.
