How to Make the curry???
1. Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken pieces and coat well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
2. Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your grill, oven, or stovetop grill pan. Cook the chicken on high heat until lightly charred and cooked through. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Curry:
Heat oil or butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
Stir in turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and Ceylon cinnamon powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aroma.
Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil separates, about 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat, stir in cream or coconut milk, and adjust salt to taste.
4. Combine and Simmer:
Add the cooked chicken pieces to the curry sauce.
Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of cream.
