Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pan, heat 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil over medium-high heat. Add medium-sized cubes of onion and chopped bell peppers, sautéing them for about 2 minutes until they become glossy and slightly tender. Remove the veggies from the pan and set them aside.
- In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and bring it to medium-high temperature. Toss in your cubed boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoning with salt, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir-fry for approximately 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan. Once melted, add finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
- Stir in dry spices: ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add finely chopped tomatoes and cook until mushy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once tomatoes have softened, stir in the tomato ketchup until evenly mixed. Reintroduce the sautéed chicken to the pan, ensuring it's coated with the sauce. Toss to combine for about 2 minutes.
- Add about 1/2 cup of warm water to the mixture along with slit green chilies and the previously sautéed veggies. Cover and simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes until chicken is tender.
- Remove the lid and sprinkle in garam masala and kasuri methi (if using). Stir gently and cook for an additional minute before garnishing with fresh chopped coriander.
