Indian Chicken Curry is delicious and easy to make. For this chicken curry recipe, we use a flavorful marinade and then cook everything up in a pot. It’s a great dish to serve over rice. As an alternative, we went low-cal and served the Indian chicken over salad greens with a little quinoa.

How To Make Chicken Curry
- In a food processor, finely grind the ginger, garlic, and almonds.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt and the ground ingredients from the food processor.
- Into the bowl, add the dried spices, lemon juice, and tomato sauce.
- Mix bowl ingredients well to form the marinade.
- Place chicken pieces into a large Ziploc bag. Use boneless, skinless chicken for the quickest cooking time. We prefer chicken thighs, but use your favorite chicken pieces.
- Add the marinade into the bag and zip it closed. Mix the marinade well with the chicken. Open the bag a little to let out excess air, then zip close. Manipulate the bag until the chicken is thoroughly covered.
- Place the chicken/marinade mixture in the fridge and allow to marinate overnight. If you’re in a hurry, try to marinade for a minimum of 1 hour; otherwise, you’re just wasting all the marinade flavors.
- When ready to cook dinner, heat a large pot with oil on medium low heat. Use just enough oil to sauté the onion.
- Add finely chopped onions into the pot and sauté until light brown/caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
- When the onions are ready, add ½ cup water.
- Add in the chicken and the marinade. Mix well with the onions.
- Cover pot and bring the mixture to a bubble. Reduce the heat to low, keep covered with the lid, and simmer for about one hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over rice, or whatever you like.
In the video recipe we served the Indian chicken over greens and some quinoa, which was a great combo. CG even added dried cranberries to the salad, which we will definitely do again in the future.
