Steps

50 min

1

Prep the tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and peppers.
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

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

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

Add water up to the level in the pot and bring it to a boil.
6

Reduce heat and cook uncovered at a simmer for 40 minutes.
7

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