Instructions 

  • Marinate chicken in yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), ginger-garlic paste, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet, add onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened (5-7 minutes).
  • Add marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato paste, and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice or naan.
