Instructions
Step 1 — Quick Prep (≈ 5 min)
- Protein: Dice chicken (or cube tofu / rinse chickpeas).
- Veggies: Chop onion & bell pepper, slice zucchini, mince garlic, dice tomatoes.
- Sauce Base: Whisk yogurt (or coconut milk) with garlic and lemon juice; set aside.
Step 2 — One-Pan Cooking Magic (≈ 10 min)
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 3 min until translucent.
- Sprinkle in cumin; toast 30 sec until fragrant.
- Stir in bell pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, and peas; cook 5–7 min until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Push veg to one side. Add chicken; season lightly with salt & pepper. Cook 6–7 min (tofu ≈5 min, chickpeas ≈3 min) until chicken is no longer pink. Combine everything in the pan.
Step 3 — Flavor Lock & Garnish (≈ 5 min)
- Reduce heat to low. Pour in yogurt-lemon mixture. Add coriander, turmeric, garam masala, paprika, and any chili flakes. Stir to coat evenly.
- Simmer 2–3 min for flavors to meld; taste and adjust salt/pepper.
- Off heat, fold in cilantro or mint plus nuts or dried fruit if using. Rest 1-2 min to thicken slightly.
- Serve hot over basmati rice or with warm garlic naan.
