Instructions

Step 1
Heat some oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Toss in the whole spices and let them sizzle for about a minute. Then add the chopped onions and cook until they start to soften, about 1-2 minutes.
2
Step 2
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute. When the onions start to brown a bit, add the chicken pieces. Keep stirring for 5-7 minutes until the chicken turns white. Sprinkle in some salt and mix well.

Step 3
Take about 400g of tomatoes, cut them in half, and place them skin-side up on top of the chicken. Cover the pan and let the tomatoes cook until they’re nice and tender.

Step 4
Once the tomatoes are soft, peel off their skins, mix everything together, and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Then add the yogurt and cook it down until the mixture thickens and isn’t watery.

Step 5
Now add your dry spices—coriander powder, cumin powder, chili powder, turmeric, and pepper. Give it a good stir, then toss in some chopped green chilies and mix again.

Step 6
If you want that authentic smoky flavor, heat a small piece of coal until it's red hot, drizzle a little oil on it, and carefully place it in the pan. Cover the pan for a few minutes to let the smoke infuse the dish.
