Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the chicken in a mixing bowl. Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove excess marinade from the chicken and add it to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes total. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter or ghee over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent. Then stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to toast the spices.
  5. Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes into your spice mixture. Stir well before adding heavy cream or coconut milk. Season with sugar if desired along with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return the cooked chicken pieces into the sauce. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice before serving hot alongside rice or naan bread.
