1. Pick The Right Chicken

Go for chicken thighs - they've got enough meat to soak up all the flavour, plus they stay juicy and tender instead of turning chewy.

2. Build Your Masala Base

Heat some oil, toss in cumin seeds, and wait for them to crackle. Then, add ginger, followed by onions and garlic. Sauté everything until it turns beautifully golden brown.

6. Let It Simmer

Bring the chicken to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it cook until the meat is tender and almost falling off the bone.

7. Finish Strong

Once the chicken is done, uncover the pan and let the gravy reduce a bit so the flavours get more intense. Garnish with fresh coriander, and it's ready to serve!
