Preparation
In a mixing bowl, whisk hung curd or Greek yogurt with ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill the marinated chicken pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Cooking Steps
Heat mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and turn mushy.
Gently add the grilled chicken pieces to the prepared masala and cook for 6-7 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Add water to the pan and bring the curry to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the curry simmer for 5-6 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
