Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
-
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
In a large skillet or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes.
-
Pour in the pureed tomatoes and mix well with the chicken. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the gravy simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
-
Once the chicken is cooked through and the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat.
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
-
Serve the Chicken Afghani Gravy hot over steamed rice or with naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
