Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Heat Oil and Sauté Onions

    In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

    Once the onions are golden, add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Cook

    Pour in the pureed tomatoes and stir well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

  5. 5

    Combine Chicken and Spices

    Add the marinated chicken along with slit green chilies to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook on high heat for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Simmer the Curry

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 40-45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally.

  7. 7

    Final Touch

    Once the chicken is fully cooked, sprinkle garam masala and mix well. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro leaves before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan.
