Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 teaspoons garlic paste

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 teaspoon round red chile pepper, minced, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • salt to taste

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt

  • 1 (3 pound) broiler/fryer chicken, cut up and skin removed

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in garlic paste and ginger; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Add the minced chile, cumin, salt, and yogurt.

  2. Stir in chicken pieces and bell pepper. Cover pot and simmer over low heat, until the oil separates and chicken is mostly cooked, 20 to 30 minutes.
