In a large wok heat up the oil on medium heat until hot
Add the chopped onions and the diced tomatoes then cook for 3-4 minutes until soft
Add the garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped green chilli, salt, chilli powder, garam masala and tomato puree then cook the spices for 3-4 minutes
Add the chicken and mix the spices to fully coat the chicken then cook for a further 10 minutes
Add the water and cook for a further 20-30 minutes until thickened to your personal preference – the oil will form a thin layer on top of the curry which will indicate that the curry is ready
Serve immediately and enjoy with chapati or garlic naan!

300 ml is more reasonable
500 ml too watery
Totally fair! 300ml works great if you like it thicker, I go for 500ml when I want it extra saucy.
It was simple and tasty. My first Chicken Curry. Must try the others out too. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Chicken curry is a great one to start with. Hope you give the others a go too—let me know how they turn out! 😊
…. that is for 1 serving.
Thanks for your comment. The recipe actually yields 6 servings, so feel free to adjust it to your needs.
I understand your concern. Some people might find certain measuring units or terms a bit complex or unfamiliar. I’m here to help clarify anything you’re unsure about in the recipe. Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like more information on!
My husband made it and it was really yummy! Thank you so much
Thank you for trying the recipe! I’m thrilled to hear that your husband enjoyed it. 😊
tried this recipe for the first time and it came out so well, really delicious, only thing I did different was add some ghee to the mix in the beginning and a tiny bit of tamarind but the flavour was lovely and my friend who came round said it was really lovely. Thanks for sharing the recipe Nebeela!

I love getting chicken curry from a local restaurant but can’t always order it (or shouldn’t). This tastes just like it…so now I can make it at home!
Thank you so much for trying out my chicken curry recipe and leaving such a lovely comment! I’m thrilled to hear that it reminded you of your favourite restaurant’s curry. It’s always great to have a go-to recipe for those times when you can’t order out, and I’m glad mine hit the spot for you. Let me know if you try any other recipes on my blog – I’d love to hear your feedback!
Hi – silly question but do you remove the skin from the chicken first before cooking?
Hi Tracy,
It depends on what you are making. You can leave the skin on in certain recipes. I personally do like the skin on but my kids don’t. If you want to leave the skin on in this recipe, make sure you remove the hair.
Hope that helps 🙂
Made this chicken curry last week – wife (from India) and kid loved it! Will definitely make again!
Thank you so much for trying out my recipe! I’m glad you enjoyed my chicken curry recipe 🙂
