How to Make Kohlapuri Chicken

  1. Blend 1 large onion, 4 cloves garlic, and 1 inch ginger with a little water until a smooth paste forms.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion-garlic-ginger paste for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, and 2-3 tablespoons chili powder (adjust to your spice preference). Reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Add half of 1 kg chopped tomatoes (about 500g) and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Add 500g chicken pieces, stirring and cooking until the meat changes color (about 5 minutes). Add the remaining 500g chopped tomatoes and any juices.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender (about 25-30 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Add 2-3 green chilies (finely chopped) and 1 teaspoon garam masala. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves.
  9. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
