👩‍🍳 Method

1️⃣ Marinate the chicken
Mix chicken with yogurt, PIKS Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder, Black Pepper, and salt. Rest for at least 30 minutes so flavours absorb well 🍗✨.

Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add PIKS Cumin Seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown 🧅🔥.

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until aromatic. Add tomatoes and cook until soft and oil starts separating 🍅✨.

4️⃣ Add PIKS spices
Add PIKS Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook on low heat to release the spice aroma 🌶️.

5️⃣ Cook the chicken
Add marinated chicken and sauté for 5–7 minutes until sealed and lightly browned 🍗.

6️⃣ Add methi leaves
Add fresh chopped methi leaves and mix well. Cook until they wilt and blend into the gravy 🌿✨.

7️⃣ Simmer the curry
Add warm water, cover, and cook on low heat until chicken becomes tender and gravy thickens 🍛.

8️⃣ Finish with garam masala
Sprinkle PIKS Garam Masala, simmer for 2 minutes, and garnish with fresh coriander 🌱👑.
