Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, salt, turmeric powder, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Cook with Spices

    Add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Stir and cook for another minute.

  4. 5

    Incorporate the Marinated Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the pot, cooking until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 6

    Add Pureed Tomatoes

    Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined and the tomatoes have cooked down.

  6. 7

    Add Water and Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld.

  7. 8

    Finish with Garam Masala

    Stir in garam masala and chopped fresh coriander. Cook for an additional 5 minutes before removing from heat.
