The Perfect Ingredients

To make this dish, you’ll need:

• 4 tablespoons of veggie oil
• 2.5 pounds of chicken breasts (with skin for added moisture)
• 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger
• 1 habanero chili pepper
• 4 teaspoons of madras curry powder
• 1 bunch of cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 cup of cauliflower florets
• Salt to taste (1-2 teaspoons recommended)
• 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper

Cooking Up a Storm

In a large skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. Once hot, add the chicken and brown on both sides for 10-12 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the ginger and habanero pepper paste, chop the cilantro leaves and stalks, and squeeze the lime juice into a cup.

Adding the Aromatics

Remove the chicken from the pan and add 4 tablespoons of water, the ginger-habanero mixture, spices, salt, and white pepper. Stir for a few seconds, then add the cilantro and 3/4 cup of water and lime juice. Return the chicken to the pan and toss in the cauliflower.

Simmering to Perfection

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 40 minutes. If the dish starts to dry out, add more water as needed. Halfway through cooking, flip the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Spicy Ginger Chicken with Cauliflower over rice or couscous, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves. For an added cool-down, try pairing it with a simple raita salad made with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, lime juice, and yogurt, topped with cilantro stalks.
