Method of Chicken Bhuna

Step 1

In a nonstick pan, heat the oil over high heat. When the onion has softened, about 5 minutes, add salt and continue to simmer and stir.

Step 2

Stir in ginger and garlic until fragrant over low heat. Add heated water; cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring regularly for the water to evaporate.

Step 3

Add the chili powder, ground coriander, cumin, and turmeric; stir and simmer over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the spices are fragrant. Add tomatoes and green chiles after stirring; cover and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken; cook and stir over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Stir in the curry paste; turn the heat down to low, cover the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Verify the seasoning and add some cilantro that has just been chopped.
