Servings: 4

Ingredients

Oil (2 tablespoons)
Onion (1 large, finely chopped)
Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
Green chilies (2, slit)
Curry leaves (10-12 leaves)
Chicken (1.5 pounds, cut into pieces)
Tomatoes (2 large, pureed)
Fresh coriander leaves (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))
Salt (to taste)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Coriander powder (1 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1 teaspoon)
Garam masala (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, slit green chilies, and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Introduce the chicken pieces to the pan, cooking them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Once done, garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or warm roti.
