Ingredients

  • 1 kg Chicken boneless
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Garlic
  • 300 g Tomatoes canned
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 300 ml Water
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek
  • 2 Bullet Chillies
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat until it becomes hot.
  • Add the chopped onions and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown.
  • Stir in the ginger and garlic, and let them cook for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the canned tomatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until they soften and blend into the mixture.
  • Sprinkle in the chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt, then mix thoroughly so the spices coat the onions and tomatoes evenly.
  • To stop the spices from sticking, add a splash of water and cook the masala gently for another 3–4 minutes until it thickens and releases oil around the edges.
  • Add the boneless chicken, stirring well to coat them in the masala. Cook on medium heat until the chicken changes colour.
  • Pour in 300ml water to create a rich sauce, stir well, then cover the pan with a lid. Allow the curry to simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • Once done, mix in the dried fenugreek, cumin powder, and bullet chillies for added aroma and flavour.
  • Give the curry a final stir and serve hot with rice or naan.
