Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Begin by heating the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Cook the onion, garlic, and ginger until the onion is translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add the ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the pan. Stir the spices into the onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Once the spices are fragrant, add the bite-sized pieces of chicken to the pan. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink, which should take about 5 minutes.
  4. After the chicken has cooked for a few minutes, add the diced tomatoes, water, and heavy cream to the pan. Stir everything together to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped cilantro. Season the curry with salt to taste.
  7. Serve the Indian Chicken Curry hot, over rice or with naan bread. Enjoy!

I hope this recipe helps you make a delicious and authentic Indian Chicken Curry at home. If you want to add even more flavor to the dish, you can try adding some chopped fresh herbs like mint or basil, or some chopped nuts like cashews or almonds. You can also customize the spice level of the curry by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper that you use. Happy cooking
