Method

House Specials

  1. 1

    In a heavy-bottom pot, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent and just starting to color, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic and ginger; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Stir in ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Toast spices for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken pieces; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.

  7. 7

    Temper the yogurt: in a small bowl, whisk a few tablespoons of the hot curry into the yogurt to raise its temperature, then slowly whisk the warmed yogurt back into the pot. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes. Season with salt to taste.

  8. 8

    Finish with chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
