Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 Green chilies, slit

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and half of the lemon juice. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well to coat the chicken with the spices. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan, sauté until it turns golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has evaporated, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle the garam masala over the cooked chicken and stir well.

Step 8

Add the slit green chilies and give it a final toss. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and the remaining lemon juice.

Step 10

Serve hot with roti or steamed rice for a delicious high-protein meal.
