A delightful dish combining tender chicken with a rich and aromatic coconut-pumpkin sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Chop the onion, garlic, and ginger into small pieces.
Chop the ingredients finely to ensure they blend smoothly in the sauce.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped aromatics until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the pumpkin puree and curry paste to the skillet, mixing well.
Cook until the mixture becomes aromatic and slightly thickened.
Pour in the coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, and water, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to meld the flavors.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet.
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
Simmer the chicken in the sauce until fully cooked, about 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the sour cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Mix thoroughly to create a creamy and smooth sauce.
Serve the curry over rice or with naan bread, garnished with fresh cilantro.
For a vibrant presentation, sprinkle with chopped cilantro or green onions.
