Petunjuk

Mix the spices.

In a large bowl combine the cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper together.

Season and sear the chicken.

Add the chicken to the bowl and rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, so that it's properly coated. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook on both sides, until browned and cooked through. Should take 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.

Sauté the veggies.

Add the rest of the oil to the skillet and heat. Add the onion, jalapeno pepper, ginger, garlic and cook until the onion has softened and is translucent; about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and lemon juice.

Add the tomatoes, lemon juice and season with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes until the tomatoes soften.

Simmer with coconut milk.

Stir in the coconut milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, for another 5 minutes.

Combine with chicken.

Add the chicken back to the skillet and any accumulated juices. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 5 minutes.

Serve.

Garnish with parsley and serve.
