Marinade

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Cooking Process

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the palm oil over medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the hot oil and sauté until they are golden brown and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear.

  4. 6

    Add Bell Peppers

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir until they are slightly softened.

  5. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with naan or rice.
