Ingredients

  • 50 ml Oil
  • 600 g Chicken
  • 2 Onion
  • 200 g Tomatoes Canned
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 200 Water
  • 1/2 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Green Bell Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek
  • 1 handful Coriander

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and softened.
  • Stir in the garlic paste and cook for another minute, allowing the aroma to develop.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until the color changes, ensuring the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
  • Then, add the spices—chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder—and stir to coat the chicken and onions evenly.
  • Next, add the canned tomatoes and cook the mixture until the tomatoes soften and break down, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour in some water and bring it to a simmer, letting it cook on medium heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Add the red and green bell peppers, along with any green chillies you prefer, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to soften the peppers slightly.
  • Finally, sprinkle in the dried fenugreek and fresh coriander, mixing everything together.
