How to Make Nepali Chicken Pakistani Style

  1. Marinate the chicken in yogurt, half of the garam masala, and salt for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  2. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown.
  3. Add ginger, garlic, and green chilies; sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the remaining garam masala, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and red chili powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the marinated chicken to the pot. Stir to combine and cover. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan bread. Enjoy with or without gravy, as desired!
