• 2 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 100 grams Green beans (chopped)
• 2 medium Onions (finely chopped)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
• 100 grams Plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
• 2 small Green chilies (sliced lengthwise, optional)
• 250 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to create a spice base.

Step 7

Add the chicken pieces to the pan, coating them in the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Whisk the yogurt in a small bowl to prevent curdling, then add it to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Add the diced carrots, potatoes, and chopped green beans to the pan. Stir to combine everything evenly.

Step 10

Pour in 250 milliliters of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.

Step 11

Simmer the curry for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked, the vegetables are tender, and the gravy reaches the desired consistency.

Step 12

Taste and adjust the salt if necessary. Add the garam masala and optional green chilies. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 13

Turn off the heat and garnish the curry with fresh cilantro.

Step 14
