Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to change color, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.
-
Step 2.
Stir in the pressed garlic and finely chopped red chile, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the grated ginger, garam masala, ground coriander, sweet paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Step 3.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Season the chicken chunks with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. While the curry simmers, prepare the cooked rice according to package directions.
-
Step 5.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the plain yogurt until well combined. Serve the curry over cooked rice, and top with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
