Scale
  • 500g boneless chicken, cut into cubes
  • 200g plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 200ml coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken pieces and coat well. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.
