Ingredients
- Chicken breasts: 2 pieces about 1 pound [450g]
- Low-fat yogurt: 1 cup 240ml
- Onions: 1 large sliced
- Fresh tomatoes: 3 chopped
- Garlic cloves: 4 minced
- Ginger: 1-inch piece grated
- Ground turmeric: 1 teaspoon 5ml
- Chili powder: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5ml
- Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon 5ml
- Ground coriander: 1 teaspoon 5ml
- Fresh cilantro: a handful chopped for garnish
- Water: 1 cup 240ml
- Salt: to taste
- Cooking spray or low-fat oil: for frying
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix half the yogurt, turmeric, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan sprayed with cooking spray or a dash of low-fat oil. Toss in the sliced onions, sautéing until they’re soft and golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 2 minutes until aromatic.
- Now, bring in the tomatoes. Cook them down until they meld into a nice, thick sauce.
- Time for those marinated chicken pieces. Add them into the pan, ensuring you get every bit of that yogurt mix in there too. Sauté until the chicken begins to brown.
- Sprinkle in the cumin and coriander. Stir everything to ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned.
- Pour in the water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes.
- Finish off by stirring in the remaining yogurt and cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Notes
For a creamier texture, you could blend the sautéed onion-tomato mixture before adding the chicken.
Don’t rush the marinating process; the longer the chicken marinates, the more flavors it absorbs.
Using boneless chicken cuts down the cooking time. If you use bone-in pieces, you might need to cook a bit longer.
If you want to up the protein content, consider adding some cooked chickpeas or lentils in the final steps.

- Best enjoyed hot with a side of brown rice or whole wheat flatbread. This ensures you’re getting a balance of proteins and wholesome carbs.
- A green salad on the side can add a refreshing crunch and balance out the flavors.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro for that fresh herby touch.
- For those looking to add a zesty twist, a squeeze of lime just before eating does wonders.
