Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt until everything is well combined.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to your marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; overnight is even better.

  4. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes until it's cooked through.
  6. Pour in the tomato puree and stir well to combine everything. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in heavy cream until fully incorporated. Cook for another 5-7 minutes while adjusting seasoning as needed.
  8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
