Ingredients

Steps

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or wide pan and sear the chicken pieces over high heat for 5-6 minutes.

  2. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cumin seeds and cook 1 minute.

  3. Add the tomatoes, green chilies, chili powder, coriander seeds, and salt. Cook uncovered over high heat, stirring, until the tomatoes break down into a thick sauce, about 15 minutes.

  4. Cover and simmer 10 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the oil separates at the edges.

  5. Sprinkle in the garam masala and stir through.

  6. Garnish with julienned ginger and cilantro before serving.

Food safety Cook chicken to at least 74°C (165°F) internal temperature.
