- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 2-3 green chilies, slit (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (curd)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) for garnish
- Salt to taste
For the Crust:
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
-
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
-
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.
-
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for a minute to let the spices release their flavors.
-
Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
-
Lower the heat and add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices.
-
Cover the pan and let the chicken cook on low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it becomes tender.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, add the green chilies, garam masala, and salt. Stir well.
-
Now, add the yogurt (curd) to the chicken curry and gently mix it in. Make sure to lower the heat at this stage to prevent curdling.
-
Let the curry simmer for a few more minutes until the flavors blend together.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves (cilantro).
Your Indian Chicken Curry is now ready to be served! Enjoy it with steamed rice, naan, or roti (Indian flatbread) for a delicious and satisfying meal. Feel free to adjust the spice levels and add vegetables like peas or potatoes to customize the dish to your liking.
NOTES
- *For strict vegans, use dairy-free chocolate chips – we found them at stores like Whole Foods.
- We used chocolate almondmilk and it was deeeelicious. Bonus: the leftover milk sitting in my fridge has become my new favorite morning drink of choice.
- Crust ideas: my favorite is a graham cracker crust, and unless I’m missing something major, it looks like most of the store-bought ones are vegan because they use oils instead of butter! Online forums support my findings, but if you know something I don’t, feel free to comment. I also love the idea of an Oreo crust or a regular pie crust, which you can make with coconut oil to be vegan. Also: a date and nut crust could be nice.
