Chicken Curry

This is one of my favorite student meals. Instead of boring chicken and rice, I like to make this delicious and affordable curry. The total price per portion was $2.75 for me, but I bet I can bring it down if I buy ingredients in bulk.

Step 1

Cut your chicken thighs into small, bite-sized cubes.

Season with salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

In the same pan, add your chopped onion, crushed garlic cloves, and garam masala.

Step 5

Cook until fragrant. Don't burn the spices.

Step 6

Add frozen peas and cook for 60 seconds.

Step 7

Add crushed tomatoes, and optionally some water. Pro tip: use the water to clean out the can of tomatoes.

Step 8

Add the chicken back in, and simmer until fully cooked.

Step 9

Add coconut milk. Simmer until you reached the desired thickness.

Step 10

Serve with rice, cilantro, and a lime wedge.
