Ingredients

• 500g chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 tomatoes, pureed
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander, chopped for garnish
• 1/2 cup water adjust for desired consistency

Directions

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
• Add the pureed tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the mixture (about 10 minutes).
• Stir in the garam masala, ground coriander, turmeric, cumin powder, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors.
• Add the chicken pieces to the pan, season with salt, and stir to coat the chicken with the spice mix. Cook for about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the water, cover the pan, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
