Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sauté the finely chopped onion until softened and golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to blend with the onions.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or your favorite side.
