| One 1-inch piece | fresh ginger,, (use the edge of a teaspoon to scrape off the skin), finely chopped |
| 1 tablespoon | Madras curry powder |
| 1 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| 3½ cups | coconut milk |
| 2 medium | Yukon Gold potatoes, (about 1½ pounds), peeled and coarsely chopped |
| 10 | cherry tomatoes, halved |
| 4 ounces | dry-cured Spanish chorizo, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds |

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. On a baking sheet, spread the coconut flakes in an even layer and toast until the coconut is lightly golden and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set aside to cool.
2. Place the chicken thighs on a plate and pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cornstarch on a plate and dredge the thighs in the cornstarch, patting the cornstarch onto both sides of the chicken to coat it evenly.
3. In a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, add 1½ tablespoons of the oil and heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, without moving, until lightly browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the thighs over and cook until the other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4. In the same Dutch oven set over medium heat, add the remaining 1½ tablespoons of oil, the onion and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft but not browned, about 6 minutes. Add the curry powder and the cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Add the potatoes and the reserved chicken thighs and bring the liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Continue to cook until the chicken thighs and potatoes are cooked through and the sauce is thick, about 50 minutes.
5. Remove the lid from the pot and stir in the tomatoes, chorizo and olives. Cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Divide the curry among 6 plates and serve sprinkled with the toasted coconut, chopped parsley and lemon wedges, with the rice on the side.
