Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons Mustard oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Nigella seeds (kalonji)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder. Mix well and add the chicken, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the mustard oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add nigella seeds, fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, and cumin seeds. Fry these spices for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the marinated chicken into the skillet along with the chopped green chilies. Stir everything well to incorporate the spices with the chicken. Cook covered on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 4
Remove the lid and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to allow any excess water to evaporate and the spices to coat the chicken well.
Step 5
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot. Ideal as a main dish with a side of keto-friendly cauliflower rice or a fresh salad.
