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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions and cook until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook until they are soft and the mixture becomes a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed basmati rice, naan, or roti. Enjoy your Dobar Chicken!
