Directions
1
Mix chicken with ginger-garlic paste, salt, pepper, paprika, turmeric, and lemon juice. Rest for 10-15 minutes.
2
Brush or spray a pan with very little oil and pan-fry the chicken on medium-high until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl.
3
Add sliced onion, chopped chilies, and half of the coriander leaves to the chicken. Mix well and set aside.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk thick Greek yogurt with garlic paste, salt, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
5
Heat mustard oil in a small pan until smoking hot, then turn off the heat and stir in the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and paprika.
6
Pour the hot tadka into the yogurt mixture and swirl gently to keep the streaks.
7
Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken mixture, mix gently, and finish with the remaining chopped coriander leaves.

Tips
I recommend using boneless chicken thigh.
The original recipe calls for Kashmiri chili powder, but I used paprika instead.
I skipped the green chilies.
You can use any neutral oil as a substitute for mustard oil in the tadka.
Enjoy with rotis or rice.
