🍳 How to Make Chicken Curry

1. Prep the Potatoes:
   Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry the cubed potatoes with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp turmeric until golden. Set aside.
   
2. Sauté the Whole Spices:
   In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Add bay leaf, black cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns. Let them sizzle and release their aroma.
   
3. Add the Onions:
   Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. This step brings out the sweetness and depth in the curry.
   
4. Ginger-Garlic & Spices:
   Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears. Then add red chilli powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix well.
   
5. Tomatoes, Coriander & Green Chillies:
   Add chopped tomato, coriander leaves and also the green chillies. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the masala comes together.
   
6. Add the Chicken:
   Now add the chicken pieces and sauté for 4–5 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
   
7. Yogurt & Simmer:
   Reduce the heat and then add the beaten yogurt. Stir continuously to prevent the yogurt from curdling. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender.
   
8. Add Potatoes & Final Touches:
   Add the fried potatoes back in. Sprinkle in the garam masala and pepper powder. Next, add water to make gravy and let it simmer for 5 more minutes.
   
9. Garnish & Serve:
   Finally finish with chopped coriander leaves, if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice, chapatis, or even bread.

💡 Tips & Variations

• Besides potatoes you can add boiled eggs or green peas.
• Adjust the spice level by reducing or increasing green chillies and red chilli powder.
