    Savory Tajik Chicken in Spiced Tomato-Yogurt Sauce

    Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    1 large onion, finely chopped

    2 garlic cloves, minced

    1 teaspoon ground coriander

    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

    1/2 teaspoon turmeric

    1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

    1.5 lbs (700g) chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into chunks

    3 medium tomatoes, chopped

    1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt

    1/4 cup water

    Salt and black pepper to taste

    2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

    Cooked rice or flatbread, for serving

    Directions:

    Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

    Stir in the garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

    Lower the heat and stir in the yogurt and water. Mix well until smooth.

    Cover and simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce is slightly thickened.

  • Tandoori Chicken with Masala Yogurt Marinade

    Smoky Tandoori Chicken in Spiced Yogurt Marinade

    Ingredients:

    4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs

    1 cup plain Greek yogurt

    2 tablespoons lemon juice

    2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste

    1 tablespoon garam masala

    1 teaspoon ground cumin

    1 teaspoon ground coriander

    1 teaspoon turmeric powder

    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

    1 teaspoon smoked paprika

    Salt to taste

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Fresh cilantro and lemon wedges for garnish

    Directions:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Mix well to form a thick marinade.

    Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or prepare a grill on medium-high heat.

    Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Arrange on a lined baking sheet or grill rack.

    Brush chicken with vegetable oil and bake for 25–30 minutes (or grill for 6–7 minutes per side), until fully cooked and lightly charred.

    Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
