� Chicken Curry
Ingredients
500 g chicken, cut into pieces
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped or puréed
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
2 tbsp cooking oil
½ tsp turmeric
1 tsp red chilli powder
1½ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp cumin powder
1 tsp garam masala
Salt to taste
1–1½ cups water
Fresh coriander/cilantro for garnish
Optional: ½ cup yogurt for a richer curry, 1 green chilli for extra heat.
Method
Cook the onions: Heat oil in a pot. Add onions and cook over medium heat until golden brown.
Add aromatics: Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 1 minute.
Make the masala: Add tomatoes, turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate.
Add chicken: Stir in the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, coating it thoroughly in the masala.
Make the gravy: Add 1–1½ cups water. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Finish: Stir in garam masala and simmer uncovered for another 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
Garnish with fresh coriander.
Serve hot with basmati rice, roti, naan, or chapati.
