Cooking Instructions

50 min
  1. 1

    Prep the tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and peppers.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a large pot (I recommend coconut oil). Add in cumin, let it sizzle. Add in onions, green chillies, and salt. Saute until it gets nice and golden.

  3. 3

    Add in all spice powders and curry leaves. You may substitute 2 tbsp Tandoori Masala powder instead of the Garam Masala, coriander powder, and red pepper. Toss until evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Add in chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and dal. For a less traditional take, sear the chicken (in a pan with butter before adding it). Mix thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Add water up to the level in the pot and bring it to a boil.

  6. 6

    Reduce heat and cook uncovered at a simmer for 40 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add the lemon juice. Serve with coriander leaves as a garnish.
