Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken (bone-in or boneless, cut into pieces)
• 3 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or sunflower)
• 2 medium Onions (finely chopped)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 3 tablespoons Plain yogurt (whisked)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté them until they turn golden brown. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic paste and ginger paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat and add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Incorporate the chicken pieces into the pan, stirring well to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 7

Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to lightly sear on the outside.

Step 8

Whisk the plain yogurt to ensure it is smooth, then gradually add it to the pan while stirring to prevent curdling.

Step 9

Add 1 cup of water, stir, and bring the curry to a boil.

Step 10

Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and let the chicken cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, stir in the garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread for a satisfying meal.
