Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 large onions
- 3 tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro (for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste to the onions and cook until fragrant.
- Incorporate the spice blend (coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper). Stir well to coat the onions in the aromatic spices. Add diced tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and release their juices.
- Toss in the bite-sized chicken pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice and tomato mixture. Pour in plain yogurt, stirring continuously to create a rich and creamy curry base.
- Lower the heat and let the chicken simmer until fully cooked and tender. Finish by adding coconut milk to the curry, infusing it with a luscious creaminess. Adjust seasoning to taste and let the curry simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve over steamed rice or with warm naan bread.
