Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan and add the chicken along with ginger-garlic paste over high heat. Sauté until the chicken changes color.
  2. Add halved tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let them steam until the skin can be easily removed.
  3. Peel off the tomato skins, then add chili flakes, red chili powder, white pepper, black pepper, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, and tomato paste. Mix well.
  4. Increase the heat to medium high and cook until the oil separates. Stir in the coconut powder.
  5. Add yogurt, keep the heat on medium high, and cook until the oil rises to the surface again.
  6. Stir in cooking cream and dried fenugreek.
  7. Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with extra cream, and garnish with sliced ginger, green chilies, and fresh coriander. Serve with naan, roti, or boiled rice.

Notes

  • You can use bone-in chicken instead of boneless chicken thighs or breasts for.
  • If you don’t have coconut powder or flakes, feel free to skip it.
