1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

For the Sauce:

1 teaspoon cumin powder

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic paste, ginger paste, turmeric, garam masala, cumin powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well.

      - Add the diced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to develop.

        Cooking the Chicken:

          - Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature (about 200°C/400°F).

            - Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first).

              - Grill the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in the oven on a lined baking sheet.

                Prepare the Sauce:

                  - In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).

                    - Stir in the minced garlic, ginger paste, and green chilies. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

                      - Add the crushed tomatoes, ground coriander, cumin powder, and garam masala. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken.

                        - Pour in the coconut milk or heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, then season with salt to taste.

                          Combine:

                            - Add the grilled chicken pieces to the sauce, ensuring they are covered in the flavorful gravy. Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat.

                              Serve:

                                - Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
