For the Chicken Marinade
 500 g boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
 1 cup plain yogurt
 2 tbsp lemon juice
 1 tbsp garam masala
 1 tsp turmeric powder
 1 tsp cumin powder
 1 tsp coriander powder
 1 tsp red chili powder
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 1 ginger, grated
 1 tsp salt
For the Curry Sauce
 3 tbsp butter
 1 onion, finely chopped
 2 tomatoes, pureed
 1 cup coconut milk
 1 tsp cardamom powder
 1 tsp black pepper
 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Marinating the Chicken
1

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, and salt. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Preparing the Curry Sauce
2

In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken.

3

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.

4

Pour in the coconut milk and add the cardamom powder and black pepper. Stir well and let the curry simmer on low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Serving the Dish
5

Once the curry is ready, remove it from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
