Anweisungen

Fry the Onions:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Add Ginger-Garlic Paste:

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2–3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Cook the Tomatoes:

Add chopped tomatoes to the pot.

Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Add Spices:

Add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.

Mix well and cook for another 2–3 minutes to blend the spices.

Incorporate Yogurt:

Lower the heat and add the plain yogurt.

Stir continuously to prevent curdling.

Cook until the mixture is well combined and the oil separates.

Add Chicken:

Add the chicken pieces to the pot.

Stir to coat the chicken with the masala.

Cover and cook on medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Simmer the Curry:

Once the chicken is cooked through, add garam masala.

Adjust the consistency of the curry by adding water if needed.

Simmer for an additional 5–10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish the curry with fresh coriander leaves and green chilies if desired.

Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
