Main Ingredients

Spices

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prep the Rice

    Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and cilantro. Slice the green chilies.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Onions

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken

    Once the onions are golden, add the marinated chicken to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned.

  3. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and garam masala. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the mixture is well combined.

  4. 7

    Cook Rice

    Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir gently to combine. Pour in 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.

  5. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
