Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, marinate the chicken pieces with salt, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    Heat ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Ginger-Garlic Paste

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Tomatoes

    Add the pureed tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oil begins to separate.

  5. 5

    Combine Chicken with Sauce

    Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken in the sauce.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Finish with Garam Masala

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

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or naan.
