This simplified version of the Indian classic combines chicken, tomato sauce, and a slew of aromatic spices all in one pot to make a flavorful dinner that’s just as good as the version you’ll get at restaurants — only way easier to make. Serve it over rice with a bit of cilantro to balance the heat and dinner is done.

Special occasion

Very delicious. Spicy, but not too spicy. Would definitely make it again. I would cook it for special occasions, as I don't normally hold all the ingredients in my spice cupboard.

This is really easy to make. Hardest part is curing the chicken, that's it! As far as spices go, the things I changed or did differently: • 1/2 tsp of the Cayenne • I didn't have fresh ginger so I used 1/2 tsp of the ground kind • I didn't have cinnamon sticks so I used 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon It's still a bit spicy but the rice and side of Naan bread helped mellow it out a bit. I liked it but my husband did not.

Add less water and see how it goes. It was a little too thin.
