Step-by-Step Instructions

1.Sauté Aromatics
Heat 100ml of oil in a pan. Add 2 finely chopped onions and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
2.Cook Tomatoes
Add 3 chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and break down into a paste-like consistency.
3.Add Spices
Add 1 chopped green chilli, 2 tsp each of garlic paste and ginger paste, 2 tsp of tomato puree, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garam masala, 2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp chilli powder. Mix everything well and cook the spices for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
4.Cook the Chicken
Add 1 kg of chicken to the pan. Mix well to coat the chicken with the masala and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
5.Simmer the Curry
Pour in 500ml of water, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
6.Garnish and Serve
Once the curry is ready, garnish with fresh chopped coriander. Stir it in, and serve the chicken curry hot.
