Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix the vinegar, garlic, ginger, and spices (coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt). Add the cubed chicken or lamb and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to pop. Then, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    Add the marinated chicken or lamb to the pot and cook until browned on all sides.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they break down and form a sauce.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water if needed to achieve desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve hot with rice or naan.
