Time 8h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 chicken thighs
1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt
1 small red onion, chopped
1 (2 inch) piece ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 fresh curry leaves, or more to taste
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Remove any skin and visible fat from chicken thighs. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Place chicken thighs into a bowl; pour yogurt over chicken. Add onion, ginger, garlic, chili powder, and turmeric. Rub marinade well into the meat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a wok. Add curry leaves and cumin seeds to flavor the oil; cook until seeds pop, 15 to 30 seconds. Add chicken and marinade to the wok and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.
