Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the chopped onions until golden brown. Add tomato puree and cook for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the cooked chicken back to the pan, pour in the coconut milk, and mix well. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt.
