Ingredients
Chicken & Marinade
- 400 gm Chicken boneless, cut into 1-inch pieces, skinless thighs or breasts
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tbsp Garam Masala
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder red
- 2 tsp Cumin Powder jeera, ground
- 4 tbsp Yogurt curd, plain
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Aromatics & Spices
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Onion large, thinly sliced
- 10 Kashmiri Chilies red
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 1 cup Water or as needed to adjust consistency
- 1 tsp Coriander for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Marinade
- Combine chicken with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, cumin powder, yogurt, and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer for deeper flavor.
Make the Chili-Garlic Paste
- In a blender or food processor, combine Kashmiri red chilies and garlic cloves. Blend into a smooth paste.
Sauté the Onions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Chicken
- Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the Chili-Garlic Paste and Simmer
- Stir in the chili-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Add water, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired gravy consistency. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Finish and Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice, naan bread, or roti.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Red Chicken Curry
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Adjust the amount of Kashmiri red chilies to control the level of spice. Kashmiri chilies provide color without intense heat.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with other spices! A pinch of cardamom or cloves can add another layer of complexity.
- For a creamier curry, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end.
