• For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste

• For the Curry:

  • 3 tablespoons oil or ghee
  • 2 medium onions, finely sliced
  • 2-3 green chilies, slit
  • 2 medium tomatoes, pureed
  • 1 tablespoon coriander powder
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Marinating the chicken is crucial for enhancing flavor and tenderness.

1. In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to coat evenly.
3. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for better results).

Step 3: Prepare the Curry Base

Creating a rich and aromatic curry base is essential.

1. Heat oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
2. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
3. Stir in the slit green chilies and cook for another minute.
4. Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
5. Mix in coriander powder and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

Now, it’s time to combine the marinated chicken with the curry base.

1. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and mix well with the onion-tomato base.
2. Cook on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned.
3. Add a little water if necessary to prevent burning and ensure the chicken cooks through.

Step 5: Final Touches

Enhance the flavor profile of your chicken curry.

1. Sprinkle garam masala over the chicken and stir to combine.
