Classic Chicken Curry Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

• 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
• 3 tbsp Phoran Premium Chicken Masala
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 4 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 3 tbsp oil or ghee
• 1 cup water or chicken stock
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander for garnish

Method:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Mix chicken pieces with 1 tbsp Chicken Masala, yogurt, and salt. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).

Step 2: Build the Base

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add chopped onions and cook until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Spices

Add remaining 2 tbsp Chicken Masala and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

Add marinated chicken and cook on high heat for 5-7 minutes until chicken changes color. Add water or stock and bring to a boil.

Step 5: Simmer to Perfection

Reduce heat and simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until chicken is tender and gravy reaches desired consistency.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice, roti, or naan.
