Ingredients

• 1 kg Boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 medium Onion
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Ginger root
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro leaves
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the yogurt to create a rich, creamy base. Mix well.

Step 9

Add the chicken pieces and coat them with the spice mixture. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the chicken starts to brown slightly.

Step 10

Pour in the water and add salt. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and cover the pan. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 11

Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
