👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute until spices are fragrant.
4
Add chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7
Stir in the drained pineapple chunks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, uncovered, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice.
