Directions:
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, cook for 6-8 minutes or until transparent. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Stir in cumin, turmeric, 1 teaspoon curry powder, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt- cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste. Mix to combine.
In ziploc bag, toss chicken pieces in remaining curry powder, season with salt and pepper. Add to pan, and cook for about 5-6 minutes until outside is golden brown.
Pour coconut milk into the pan-if coconut milk has separated from the fat, pour the liquid in and add a tablespoon or so of fat until you have the creamy consistency. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Add hot water if there is not enough liquid.
Serve hot with a squeeze of lime if desired.

Personal Notes:
This goes together quickly. You could exchange onions for green or red peppers. We put whatever looks good on the table to use as a garnish...chopped sweet peppers, shredded coconut, sliced green onions, raisins, chutney, dried apricots, mango, grapes, sugar snap peas. People add what they like! We serve it with rice and a salad or broccoli.
