• 1 tsp Coriander powder
• 0.5 tsp Cumin powder
• 1 tsp Red chili powder
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 2 tbsp Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Cook for about 2 minutes until the aromas are released.

Step 4

Add chopped tomatoes and curry leaves to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Sprinkle turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt over the mixture. Stir well to combine the spices.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and mix everything well to coat the chicken with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the water, stir, and cover the pan. Allow the chicken to cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat until it is tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Uncover the pan and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess liquid, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Sprinkle garam masala and chopped coriander leaves over the chicken, stirring to evenly distribute.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves if desired.
