1 kg chicken pieces (bone-in or boneless)
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil (Buy from IndianGroceryUK)
-
2 large onions, finely chopped
-
3 tomatoes, pureed
-
2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste (Buy from IndianGroceryUK)
-
2 green chilies, slit
-
1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder (Buy from IndianGroceryUK)
- 1 teaspoon garam masala (Buy from IndianGroceryUK)
-
Salt to taste (Buy from IndianGroceryUK)
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
-
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, coriander powder, and salt.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).
Step 2: Cook the Curry Base
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
-
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
-
Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
-
Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Step 3: Combine and Simmer
-
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan and mix well with the curry base.
-
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown.
-
Reduce the heat and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and mix well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
-
Garnish the Chicken Curry with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
-
Serve hot with steamed rice or warm naan bread from IndianGroceryUK.
Tips for a Perfect Curry:
-
Marinating the chicken for a longer time enhances the flavor.
-
Adjust the number of green chilies based on your spice preference.
-
Adding a splash of cream at the end can give the curry a rich, velvety texture.
