A rich and festive Indian dish featuring tender chicken braised in a tapestry of spices and creamy yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
  2. Add the finely chopped onions to the pot. Sauté them until they turn golden brown.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, letting them cook for another minute.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes to the mixture. Cook until they break down and meld into a rich sauce.
  5. Sprinkle in the coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Sauté for a couple of minutes.
  6. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, browning them on all sides.
  7. Stir in the plain yogurt, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
  8. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
  10. Serve hot alongside fluffy rice or warm naan.

Notes

For a milder curry, reduce the quantity of red chili powder. Use full-fat yogurt for creamy texture.
