Ingredients

500 grams boneless chicken breasts Cut into small cubes

1/2 cup Vegetable oil

1 cup Onions Chop finely

2 cup Tomatoes Chop finely

1 teaspoon Ginger paste

1 teaspoon Garlic paste

1/4 cup Fresh Youghart

1/4 cup Heavy cream

1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds Coarsely crush in mortar

1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder

1 teaspoon Dried Fenugreek leaves Common name: Qasoori Methi

1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder

1 teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoon Grated Cocunut

1 tablespoon Plain Flour (Optional. See directions)

3 each Green Chili Cut lengthwise. For Garnish

1/4 cup Fresh Coriander leaves Finely Chopped. For Garnish

1/4 cup Ginger Julian cut. For Garnish


Directions

* Fry chicken cubes in oil on high flame so they retain their shape. Once tender take them out in a bowl. * Now keep the flame medium and fry the chopped onion in the same oil and fry until light golden. * Now add Ginger and Garlic paste and stir for a couple of minutes. * One by one add all the dry spices (salt, red chili powder, etc.) except garam masala and black pepper and keep on stirring. Add a tablespoon of water while stirring to prevent spices from burning. Fry until well cooked and oil separates. * Now add cumin seeds, tomato, and a little water and cover the pot. Let it cook on low flame. Your masala is ready when the tomato is well cooked and leaves oil (you can see the oil separated from the masala). * Now add chicken and fry for 5 minutes. * Add garam masala and black pepper and fry for two minutes. You can add a few uncut green chilies at this stage as well for aroma. * Turn the flame low and add yogurt and cream and cook for 2 minutes. * (Optional) If you like a thicker gravy, sprinkle plain flour and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes more. * Dish out into serving dish, garnish with fresh coriander leaves, green chilies, and Julian cut ginger. Serve with hot Naan/Roti/Chapati.

I often struggle to replicate dishes I love from time spent in northern Pakistan. This recipe was easy to follow and the results were spot-on. The appearance and flavors are authentic to what I often ate at my favorite restaurant. I doubled the recipe. I started in a large cast-iron skillet, but moved into a bigger pot. I'm so happy to be able to make this dish at home.
