Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
Quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The boneless chicken cooks evenly and stays tender, absorbing all the delicious flavors from the sauce and vegetables. It’s a comforting meal that the whole family can enjoy.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with salt, coriander powder, cumin seeds, pepper, ginger-garlic paste, and yogurt. Mix everything well so the chicken is nicely coated.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about a minute until they start to soften.
Step 3
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour in the tomato puree and mix it all together.
Step 4
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 12-15 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Keep cooking a little longer if you want the oil to separate from the gravy.
Step 5
Stir in the fenugreek leaves, garam masala, fresh coriander, and chopped chillies. Give everything a good mix and cook for another minute or two.
Step 6
Your delicious boneless chicken handi is ready to serve—enjoy!
