How to Make Chicken In Green Masala Sauce

  1. Combine 1 medium apple (cored and chopped), 3 tablespoons chopped coriander, 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 2-3 green chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), 2 scallions (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1-inch piece ginger (grated) in a food processor. Process until smooth (about 1 minute).
  2. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and pulse a few more times to ensure a completely smooth mixture.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the green masala mixture and cook gently for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the pan and stir well to coat with the sauce.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup raisins and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.
  7. Serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.
