How to Make A Plaything For Your Tongue

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tbsp turmeric powder, 1 tbsp red chili powder (adjust to taste), 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste), and 1/2 cup tomato puree.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  4. Add the marinated chicken and its mixture to the pot. Cook covered for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender, stirring occasionally. Maintain low-medium heat throughout.
  5. Once the chicken is tender, remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Sauté for 4 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and the chicken to brown.
  6. Do not add water during cooking. The yogurt in the marinade will provide enough moisture.
  7. Serve hot. Savor each bite slowly to fully appreciate the incredible flavors and textures!
