recipe

Basmati rice (cooked)
Onion (yellow)

Step 1

Prep the rice according to package instructions. Peel & dice the onion.

Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)

Step 2

Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes. Add to a bowl.

Yogurt (Greek, plain)
Garam masala
Paprika
Turmeric (ground)

Step 3

Season the chicken with salt, pepper & half of all the spices: turmeric, garam masala & paprika. (Pro tip: for punchier flavor add fresh ginger & crushed garlic!) Add half of the greek yogurt & toss it all together until evenly coated.

Butter (unsalted)

Step 4

Heat half of the butter on a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken & stir frequently until it's mostly cooked, about 3-5 min. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the onions & sauté 2-3 min, until translucent. Add the remaining butter & spices. Mix to combine.

Tomatoes (canned, crushed)

Step 6

Add in the crushed tomatoes & remaining yogurt. Mix well, then transfer everything into an immersion blender cup or small blender. Purée until creamy, about 30 sec - 1 min.

Step 7

Pour the sauce back into the pan along with the chicken. Simmer the sauce & stir frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked, about 3 more min. Serve over fluffy basmati rice & garnish with fresh herbs if you have! Enjoy!
