Let's Cook — Add, Cook, Serve
1. Add
Add JJ Magic Masala™ Signature, ghee or butter, and water directly to the pan. Mix to form the curry base.
Add the chicken and mix well to coat. Add the fresh coriander.
That's it—no sautéing required. You do not need to sauté onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, or spices before adding the chicken.
2. Cook
Cover and cook on low heat until the chicken is cooked and tender.
- Chicken breast: approximately 30 minutes
- Chicken thighs: approximately 45 minutes
- Bone-in chicken: approximately 55 minutes
Add the optional lemon juice near the end if you prefer a brighter finish.
3. Serve
Turn off the heat, garnish if desired, and serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
Make It Your Way
For a richer curry, add ¼ cup half & half or cream at the beginning. Adjust heat to your preference with salt or chili powder if desired.
Optional Garnish
Fresh coriander, fried onions, or a small drizzle of cream. Mix and match—or skip the garnish entirely.
Wine Pairing
Riesling or Pinot Gris
