Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Clean and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the chicken with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pan, heat the mustard oil over medium heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onions

    Add the chopped onions to the oil and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

  5. 5

    Add Tomato Puree

    Add the pureed tomato and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and oil starts to separate from it.

  6. 6

    Incorporate the Spices

    Add the achari masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot and mix thoroughly to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro leaves. Serve hot with rice or naan.
