Prep:10minCook:15min
This is one of my favorite student meals. Instead of boring chicken and rice, I like to make this delicious and affordable curry. The total price per portion was $2.75 for me, but I bet I can bring it down if I buy ingredients in bulk.

Instructions
Step 1
Cut your chicken thighs into small, bite-sized cubes.
Step 2
Season with salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Cook the chicken on medium-high heat until it develops some browning on the outside. Don't worry about cooking it through yet. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same pan, add your chopped onion, crushed garlic cloves, and garam masala.
Step 5
Cook until fragrant. Don't burn the spices.
Step 6
Add frozen peas and cook for 60 seconds.
Step 7
Add crushed tomatoes, and optionally some water. Pro tip: use the water to clean out the can of tomatoes.
Step 8
Add the chicken back in, and simmer until fully cooked.
Step 9
Add coconut milk. Simmer until you reached the desired thickness.
Step 10
Serve with steamed rice, cilantro, and a lime wedge.
