Ingredients

  • 8 Whole Boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 8 Ounces Tomato sauce
  • 4 Ounces Masala sauce
  • 8 Ounces Grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 Whole Red onion
  • 2 Tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Curry powder
  • 2 Tsp Turmeric
  • 2 Tsp Cumin powder
  • 2 Tsp Coriander
  • 1 Tsp Smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsp Canola oil divided

Instructions

  1. Begin by spicing the chicken thighs with the curry powder. Add oil to a pan and warm on medium high heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 2 - 3 minutes per side getting some color on them. Remove from pan and set aside.

    There should be enough oil in the pan - now add the tomatoes, red onions and cumin seeds. Cook for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove from pan and add to a small blender and blend. Set aside.

    Add the remaining oil to the pan. Once warm, add in the masala sauce and simmer for a couple of minutes. Next, add in the tomato sauce and mix well. Simmer for another couple of minutes. Add in the remaining spices and mix well. Simmer for 1 minute. Add back in the tomato onion mix. Mix well and simmer for 1 minute. Add the chicken back into the pan. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes.

    Serve over white rice. Enjoy!
