Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken (boneless, skinless)
• 3 large Tomatoes (ripe, diced)
• 10 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
• 1 large Onion (sliced)
• 2 medium Green chilies (slit in half)
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the chicken. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the finely minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick base.

Step 7

Sprinkle in turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.

Step 8

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and mix well to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Pour in the water, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan. Allow the chicken to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and cooked through.

Step 10

Uncover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let any excess water evaporate, leaving a thick and flavorful sauce.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice, naan, or your preferred side.
