Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 4 chicken thighs)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and spices in a bowl. Coat the chicken pieces and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook marinated chicken until browned but not fully cooked—about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter or ghee, sauté onions until golden brown. Add garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant.
- Combine ground spices with tomato paste and crushed tomatoes; cook briefly.
- Return chicken to the skillet, add cream (or coconut milk), and simmer on low until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens (15-20 minutes).
- Serve hot with cilantro garnish.
