Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds. Then, add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  5. 7

    Add Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is browned.

  6. 8

    Simmer

    Pour in the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  7. 9

    Finish

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, stir in chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
