Ingredients:

  • 500g boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish


Directions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, and a pinch of salt.
    • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
    • Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

  3. Prepare the Sauce:

    • In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil.
    • Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns golden brown.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
    • Add the tomato puree, remaining cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the tomato mixture.

  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the pan, stirring to coat it in the sauce.
    • Add the heavy cream and yogurt, mixing well. Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.
    • Stir in the butter until it melts into the sauce. Add salt to taste.

  5. Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
    • Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread.
