Instructions

1. In a large pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Mix in the sliced bell peppers and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
6. Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and become soft and mushy, about 5 minutes.
7. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
8. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
9. Finally, add the garam masala and mix well. Allow the curry to simmer for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
10. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
