Cooking Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Make the Sauce
Add the crushed tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Finish the Dish
Lower the heat and stir in the cream. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
