Instructions

Step 1

Heat some oil in a pan, then add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook them until they turn nice and golden. Once that's done, set it aside and blend it into a smooth paste.

Step 2

Using the same oil, toss in the whole spices and let them sizzle for about a minute. Then add the chicken pieces and cook until they’re golden brown. Take the chicken out and set it aside.

Step 3

Add the onion paste back to the pan and cook it for a minute or two. Stir in salt, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander, chili flakes, and tomato paste. Let everything cook together for a few minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the chicken to the pan, cover it, and let it simmer on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Then keep it covered for another 2 to 3 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the dried fenugreek leaves, give it a good stir, and it’s ready to serve hot.
