  1. 01

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until soft and lightly golden. Add garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and garam masala to release the spice aromas.

  2. 02

    Pour in tomato puree and mix well.

    Simmer for 12–15 minutes until the chicken becomes tender and the sauce thickens.

  3. 03

    Serve hot with steamed rice.

Flavor of the Spices: Cumin brings earthy depth, coriander adds a light citrusy freshness, turmeric provides warm color and subtle bitterness, while garam masala finishes the dish with aromatic notes of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. Together they create a balanced curry with rich layered flavors rather than intense heat.
