chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is a plant-based option, while thighs are often less expensive.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute to bloom the spices.

Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine; bring to a simmer.
