Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1.5 tsp Cumin powder
- 1.5 tsp Coriander powder
- 0.5 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Garam masala
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 large Onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (diced)
- 2 pieces Green chilies (sliced lengthwise)
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, garlic, ginger, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook until they are soft and the mixture becomes a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken thighs to the pan, along with the marinade. Cook for 5 minutes on medium-high heat to allow the spices to bloom.
Lower the heat to medium, add the water, and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Add the sliced green chilies and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the chicken. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve hot with steamed basmati rice, naan, or roti. Enjoy your Dobar Chicken!
