- 1 medium onion peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ inch ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ Kashmiri red chili powder see the note
- 5 tablespoons natural yogurt
- ½ cup canned chopped tomatoes
- ¾ - 1 teaspoon salt or according to taste
- 1 large red or waxy potatoes peeled (approximately 8 oz)
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- green chilies optional, sliced
- cilantro/ coriander leaves optional, sliced
Instructions
- Peel the garlic and ginger, then mince them into a paste. You can use a pestle and mortar, a food chopper, or just mince them as finely as possible using a kitchen knife. Set it aside.
- Heat the oil in a large cooking pan with a lid at medium-high heat. Then fry the chopped onion until light golden brown.
- Add garlic-ginger paste and continue cooking for about a minute.
- Then add turmeric powder, cumin powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and salt. Stir well and continue frying for about a minute until the spices release an aroma.
- Put the ground chicken into the spices and cook until the meat turns opaque.
- Stir the yogurt into the chicken and let it cook for about 2 minutes until the chicken absorbs the yogurt.
- Next, stir in the canned chopped tomatoes.
- Lastly, you add the potatoes. Stir, put the lid on, and let everything cook at medium-high heat until the potatoes are cooked through. Do take care and stir every now and again to make sure the chicken won’t get burned at the bottom.

Notes
- If you don’t have Kashmiri red chili powder, use cayenne or red chili pepper powder instead.
