Tomato Chicken Curry

If you have tried Tomato Chicken Roast, then you need to try this yummy Tomato Chicken Curry. Tomato Ketchup & Soy Sauce make this Indian Style Chicken Curry taste out of this world. It goes best with Indian Rotis and Pulav. This chicken curry gets a deep reddish-brown color from kashmiri chilly powder, tomato ketchup & soy sauce.

Tomato Chicken Curry

Ingredients

  1. Whole Chicken (cut into medium pieces) – 2 lbs (1 kg approx)
  2. Sliced Red Onions – 2 large
  3. Diced Tomatoes –  2 large
  4. Curry Leaves – A Sprig
  5. Kashmiri Chilly Powder – 1 tbsp (Alter according to your Spice Tolerance)
  6. Minced Ginger – 1 tbsp
  7. Minced Garlic – 2 cloves
  8. Tomato Ketchup – 4 tbsp
  9. Soy Sauce – 2 tbsp
  10. Lemon Juice – 1 tbsp (For cleaning the chicken)
  11. Salt – to taste
  12. Oil – 2 tbsp
  13. Water – as needed

For Marinating the Chicken

  1. Kashmiri Chilly Powder – 1 tbsp (Alter according to your Spice Tolerance)
  2. Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
  3. Black Pepper Powder – 1 tsp
  4. Homemade Garam Masala Powder – 1/2 to 1 tsp
  5. Coriander Powder – 1 tbsp
  6. Chicken Masala Powder – 2 tbsp (I generally use store bought Eastern brand)
  7. Ginger Garlic Paste – 1 tbsp
  8. Tomato Ketchup – 3 tbsp
  9. Soy Sauce – 1 tbsp
  10. Salt – to taste

Preparation Method

  1. Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into medium sized pieces. Wash and clean the pieces thoroughly. Soak it into water with 1 tbsp lemon juice for 5 minutes. Drain and keep aside.
  2. Make a marinade using the above ingredients and apply it on the chicken pieces and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in large pan and saute onions until translucent.
  4. Add minced ginger, garlic, tomatoes and curry leaves and continue sauteing until the tomatoes have been cooked.
  5. When the onions begin to brown, reduce heat and 1 tbsp kashmiri chilly powder.
  6. Add the marinated chicken pieces and keep stir frying the chicken for around 10 minutes until it is lightly browned.
  7. Now add Tomato Ketchup and Soy Sauce. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water to the pan. Do a taste test and add salt only if needed.
  8. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for around 10-12 minutes. The chicken will let out water as it gets cooked.
  9. Simmer the curry for 5 more minutes so that the gravy thickens.
  10. Serve this yummy Tomato Chicken Curry with Pulav or Rotis.

Note

You can use any store bought chicken Masala Powder for this recipe. Brands like Eastern, Saras, Melam, Priyom, Nirapara etc. are good.

    Hi Jisha

    Thanks for this yummy recipe. I tried it and it turned out well. However, I am just wondering that instead of chicken can I use pork?

    Regards
    Prabha

    Hi Prabha,
    Glad to know that you like the recipe. I am sure you can use Pork instead of Chicken. Thanks for the idea. I need to try it out.

    Thanks

    Hi
    Lovely recipe, thanks for sharing! I reduced spices by more than half to suit my palate. I have a query regarding the amount of garlic to add in the curry, after the onions. You have mentioned 1 tbsp ginger and 1 clove of garlic. For 1 kg chicken, is it just one clove of garlic or one bulb of garlic?

    Hi,
    You need 2 big cloves of garlic.
    Thanks
    Jisha
