instructions
    1

    Start by cleaning the chicken pieces and marinating them in yogurt, cumin, coriander powder, turmeric, and salt for about 30 minutes.

    2

    While the chicken is marinating, finely chop the onion, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and green chili.

    3

    In a pan, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

    4

    Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

    5

    Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chili; cook for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

    6

    Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook until they soften and the oil separates, around 5-6 minutes.

    7

    Now, add the marinated chicken to the pan along with any remaining marinade. Cook on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

    8

    Add the fenugreek leaves and garam masala; stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.

    9

    Once done, remove from heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot with rice or roti.
