  4. 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  5. 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  6. 1 teaspoon cumin powder

For the Sauce:

  1. 2 tablespoons oil
  2. 1 onion, finely chopped

  4. 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  5. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  6. 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  7. 1 teaspoon garam masala
  8. 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)

  10. 1/2 cup tomato puree
  11. Salt to taste
  12. 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  13. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  14. 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:

Marinate the Chicken:

  • Combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt in a bowl to make the marinade.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.

Cook the Chicken:

  • Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed.
  • Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
  • Add ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for a couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears and the spices are well-roasted.
  • Pour in the tomato puree and cook for a few more minutes until the oil begins to separate from the sauce.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan and mix well with the sauce. Cook for another 5-7 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.
  • Adjust the salt and spice levels according to your taste.
  • Finish the dish by adding chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Serve hot with naan, rice, or roti.

Enjoy your homemade Patakha Chicken, and be prepared for a burst of spicy flavors! Adjust the spice level to suit your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili powder and green chilies.
