- Now add marinaded chicken into the pan and mix all the ingredients well. Cover the lid for around 12–15 minutes. Make sure to stir the chicken every 5 minutes so that the ingredients don’t stick to the pan.
- Cover it for 15 minutes, however after the first 10 minutes put green chilies in it and cover again for another 5 minutes.
- Add fresh cream and cook for another 10 minutes. To make it dairy-free, add coconut milk or cream. However, some people may not like the overpowering taste of coconut in this recipe. So, keep your preferences in mind while adding any other ingredient of your choice.
- Remove from the flame and serve hot.
Notes
This aromatic curry combines succulent chicken pieces with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), cooked in a rich, creamy sauce made from yogurt, heavy cream, and ghee.
Add the chicken, fresh methi leaves, and heavy cream, then slow-cook on dum to infuse deep, smoky flavors, it is high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, and low in carbs, making it an ideal keto-friendly meal.
