Heat oil in a karahi or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and fry until the pieces turn lightly golden on the edges.
Add ginger garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, salt, red chili, crushed coriander, and cumin. Stir well.
Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the tomatoes break down into a thick masala.
Uncover and cook on high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the oil separates and the masala clings to the chicken.
Add garam masala, green chilies, coriander, and ginger julienne. Serve hot with naan or roti.
This chicken karahi is the kind of desi dinner that feels bold, comforting, and full of aroma. It is cooked in a tomato-based masala with ginger, green chilies, crushed coriander, and just enough heat to make every bite exciting.
