Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken (skinless, bone-in or boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 3 tablespoons Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
- 2 medium Fresh tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 Green chilies (slit)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Oil or ghee
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- to taste Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean and cut the chicken into medium-sized pieces. Pat dry and set aside.
In a bowl, marinate the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee on a tawa (flat skillet) over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it starts to brown slightly, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same tawa, add the remaining oil or ghee and butter. Once heated, add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions become golden brown.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, and kasuri methi. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spice mix is aromatic.
Add the partially cooked chicken back to the tawa and mix well with the masala. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Adjust salt as needed and finish with lemon juice. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
