Ingredients

• 500 grams chicken (boneless, skinless, cut into pieces)
• 2 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 medium tomatoes (pureed)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1.5 cups water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the oil starts to separate at the edges.

Step 5

Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to blend the spices.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the plain yogurt, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, increasing the heat to medium. Stir to coat the chicken with the spice mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the chicken starts to change color.

Step 8

Pour in the water and bring the curry to a gentle boil. Lower the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step 9

Stir in the garam masala and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
