Ingredients

For the marinade

  • 1.5kg boneless, skinless chicken, cut into chunks
  • 1 plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon black or cayenne pepper - optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt

for the curry

  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons of salted butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 600 g diced pumpkin without skin
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoons chilli powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, 2 teaspoons of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and add the chicken. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear on both sides until browned, about 2 minutes. Then add 2 tablespoons of butter and stir well. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer it to a plate.

In the same pan, add the onion and the diced pumpkin, stirring well. Let cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, the garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, and a little salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes.

Lower the heat and add the water and coconut milk. Stir well and let the sauce simmer until it thickens a bit. Now add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper and serve with long rice
