Ingredients: 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 cup plain yogurt; 2 tablespoons tikka masala paste; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1 teaspoon turmeric; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1-inch piece of ginger, grated; 1 can tomatoes, diced; 1 cup red lentils; 2 cups chicken broth; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the yogurt, tikka masala paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade to the pot. Cook until the chicken is sealed and browned on all sides.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, red lentils, and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the curry simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the lentils are tender.
Adjust the seasoning if needed and serve the Chicken Tikka Dansak Curry hot over steamed rice, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
