Description

A quick and easy recipe for homemade chicken curry that is rich, creamy, and full of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked basmati rice or naan (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in the garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken with the spices.
  5. Pour in the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and sugar. Simmer for another 5 minutes, adjusting salt to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with chickpeas or paneer.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice before serving for a bright flavor boost.
