A deliciously tangy Indian-style chicken stir-fry in a fresh tomato-based curry. Easy to make and full of flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 large onions (approx. 8 oz)
  • 2 large tomatoes (approx. 3/4 cup)
  • 1 tsp chili powder (to taste)
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions 

  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  • Add onions and sauté till golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, salt, chili and powders. Stir a few times.
  • Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, till all the moisture from the chicken evaporates, 7-8 minutes.
  • Uncover and add the tomatoes.
  • Now cook uncovered stirring occasionally till the tomatoes are nicely blended.
  • Add half cup hot water, stir and get all the good braised bits incorporated, then let simmer for 5 minutes to get a thick gravy.
  • Garnish with cilantro.
