How to Make Chicken Curry
Heat oil or butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add chopped onions and sauté on medium heat until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears. Stir in tomato purée and cook until the mixture thickens and oil begins to separate.
Add Qora Chicken Masala, Qora Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder, and salt. Mix well and sauté briefly to bloom the spices.
Add chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the masala. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the chicken is lightly sealed.
Add water to adjust consistency, cover, and simmer on low heat until the chicken is tender and the curry is rich and well blended.
