Ingredients

  • 700 g Chicken
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 2 Onions
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 50 g Yoghurt
  • 400 ml Water
  • 1 handful Coriander
  • 2 Bullet Chillies

Instructions

  • Warm the oil in a pan over medium heat until it reaches cooking temperature.
  • Stir in the onions and let them cook for 5–6 minutes, allowing them to soften and take on a light golden colour.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until the colour changes.
  • Mix in the ginger paste and garlic paste, giving them a brief minute to release their aroma.
  • Add the tomatoes and let them break down fully, cooking until they become soft and pulpy.
  • Sprinkle in all the spices and sauté for 2–3 minutes so they coat the chicken and deepen in flavour.
  • Work in the yoghurt gradually, stirring without pause to prevent it from splitting, and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  • Pour in the water, cover the pan, and leave the curry to cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Finish by adding the coriander and bullet chillies, letting everything simmer together for another 2–3 minutes before serving.
