Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
• 200 grams Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
• 4 cups Cooked basmati rice

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Add the boneless chicken thighs to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for better flavor.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place it in the pan. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, pour in the coconut milk and stir in any remaining marinade. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the pan and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or black pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot over cooked basmati rice.
