Instructions

  • Mix together coriander, fenugreek, chili flakes, 1/2 tsp of salt, turmeric and 1/4 tsp of black pepper then set aside.
  • Cut chicken into bite-size chunks then season with balance of salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil in skillet on a high heat, then add chicken pieces, and brown chicken just a little.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Add balance of olive oil to skillet then add garlic and onions and saute until flavors release.
  • Return chicken to skillet and mix vigorously then add chicken broth and mixed spices.
  • Again mix vigorously to combine ingredients and lower heat to medium and cover skillet.
  • Allow to cook for 5 minutes and then check on chicken. Mix to ensure ingredients are not sticking to the skillet.
  • Lower heat again to just above low and cover skillet and allow chicken to cook through until opaque.
  • Continue to check on the chicken until it is cooked through.
  • Remove skillet from heat.
  • Whisk together yogurt and lime juice, then temper yogurt mixture by adding some of the sauce of the chicken in the skillet into the yogurt mixture.
  • Add enough sauce so that the yogurt becomes warm, then add the yogurt mixture to the skillet and stir.
  • Do not return the skillet to more heat at this point as you will run the risk of the yogurt separating.
  • Serve immediately.
