- Add spices and paste: Stir in turmeric and a generous amount of ginger-garlic paste. After cooking for a while, add the poppy seed and coconut paste and mix well.
- Cook the chicken: Add chicken pieces and beaten yogurt, cooking until the chicken is slightly soft and cooked in its own juices.
- Season the curry: Once most of the moisture has evaporated, add coriander powder, a little bit of garam masala, and chili powder. Cook until the curry is dry and some oil starts to separate.
- Finish and serve: Finish the dish by adding chopped coriander for garnish. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed before serving.
