Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder to the skillet. Stir continuously for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Lower the heat and add the Greek yogurt, one spoonful at a time, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Stir in the chicken stock, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce.
Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Uncover the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve the Chicken Bombay OAMC hot with basmati rice, or allow it to cool completely before dividing into freezer-safe containers for storage.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm gently on the stove. Serve with freshly cooked rice or naan bread.
