Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a large bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Sauté Onions and Spices

In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add minced ginger, minced garlic, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add Tomatoes and Chicken

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Add the marinated chicken pieces and mix well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is coated with the spices.

4. Simmer with Coconut Milk

Pour in the coconut milk and add curry leaves. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

5. Finish with Garam Masala
