Delicious chicken curry made with tomatoes, yogurt, onion, garlic and spices. Easy to adapt to your taste buds!
Indian Chicken Curry
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 (14oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp salt (more to taste)
- 1/2 cup water
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the onions to the pan and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.
Stir the cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, paprika and 1 tbsp water into the onion mixture. Allow to heat together for 1 minute while stirring.
Add the tomatoes, yogurt and salt into the mixture and stir gently.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture.
Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to medium low, cover the skillet with a lid and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes. Check occasionally to see if the mixture needs more water and to give it a quick stir.
Serve with naan bread and rice.
Enjoy!


I am a curry fanatic and this is the most comprehensive recipe I have seen yet! Most of the ones I find call for ingredients I never have on hand! Thanks for sharing, I will give it a try!
This sounds delicious and has some excellent and healthy spices in it too! Thank you for sharing this recipe on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! 🙂
Thanks for this recipe. We live in Turkey and it’s not always easy to find the ingredients I need. But think I have all these. Will just have to substitute the canola oil! Looking forward to trying it out.
I hope you enjoy it Joanna!
I haven’t tried a curry dish. This looks good! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
We love curries in this house Sherry! The great thing about cooking your own, is that you can adjust the heat and flavours to suit you and your family.
