Ingredients

• 1 kg Chicken (bone-in, cut into pieces)
• 3 units Potatoes (medium-sized, peeled and cubed)
• 2 large Onions (finely sliced)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 tbsp Ginger paste
• 1 tbsp Garlic paste
• 0.5 cup Yogurt
• 4 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 tsp Red chili powder
• 2 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 2 cups Water
• 2 units Green chilies (optional, slit lengthwise)

Directions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning (about 10-12 minutes).

Step 4

Add ginger paste and garlic paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the oil separates from the masala (about 8-10 minutes).

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the yogurt and mix thoroughly, ensuring it incorporates into the gravy. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Toss in the cubed potatoes and pour in the water. Stir to combine and bring the curry to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the curry cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.

Step 10

Sprinkle garam masala and add the green chilies (if using). Stir gently and simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.
