Method
Instructions:
1. Heat Oil & Sauté Aromatics:
In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until soft and golden (about 5 minutes).
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chilies, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
2. Cook Chicken:
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and are almost cooked through.
3. Add Spices:
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors of the spices.
4. Add Tomatoes & Simmer:
Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the curry mixture.
5. Add Liquids & Simmer:
Pour in water, stir, and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens. Adjust salt to taste.
6. Garnish & Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with rice.
