Ingredients

• Chicken thighs, boneless - 300 grams
• Onion, finely chopped - 1 medium (about 150 grams)
• Garlic, minced - 3 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
• Yogurt, plain - 100 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Cooking oil (vegetable or ghee) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - for garnish

Steps

1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, coconut milk, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder until well combined.
5. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Check the chicken for doneness; it should be tender and cooked through. If needed, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
7. Once cooked, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve warm with rice or naan.
