This comforting dish brings together tender chicken and a medley of creamy vegetables for a satisfying meal. It's easy to prepare and perfect for cozy dinners any night of the week.
Start by blending fried onions, green chillies, and coriander leaves in a chopper until finely chopped. Add the chicken along with salt, chili powder, crushed cumin, coriander powder, and roasted chickpeas powder. Blend everything into a smooth paste.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add ginger-garlic paste, and mix well.
Grease your hands with a little oil and shape small portions of the chicken mixture into kababs, using a straw, skewer, or even a clean pencil to hold their shape.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the kababs over medium-low heat until they’re golden brown. Once done, remove them from the pan and set aside.
For the gravy, heat some oil in a pan, add ginger-garlic paste, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the tomato puree and cook for a few more minutes on medium-low heat.
Add fried onions, salt, chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and crushed cumin. Stir everything together well.
Mix in the yogurt and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then gently add the kababs and pour in some cream for a rich, smooth sauce. Stir everything to combine.
Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves on top, turn off the heat, and garnish with extra coriander and chillies before serving.
- Use bone-in chicken for extra flavor, then remove bones before serving if preferred.
- Stir the sauce gently to prevent it from sticking or curdling.
- Add vegetables in stages based on their cooking times to keep them crisp and vibrant.
This dish combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy sauce and fresh vegetables, making it both comforting and nutritious. It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight meal that feels special without much effort.
Serve this creamy dish over steamed rice, buttery mashed potatoes, or warm crusty bread. A simple green salad on the side adds freshness and balances the richness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
