Ingredients

4 chicken thighs without skin or bones 200 ml semi-skimmed milk 1 and 1/2 natural sugar-free yogurt 1/2 lemon 1 onion 2 cloves garlic 400 g crushed tomato Olive oil, salt 1 tsp cumin, ginger, pepper and turmeric

Instructions

Step 1

To begin with, we are going to macerate the already chopped chicken in a mixture made with yogurt, salt, lemon juice and half of the spices. The chicken must be soaked in this mixture and must be kept that way for at least 2 hours in the fridge. You can stay longer, even from one day to the next.

Step 2

On the other hand, we pass the tomato with the onion and garlic through the blender until there is a uniform paste.

Step 3

Saute the chicken until golden brown and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, reduce the tomato paste with another 2 tablespoons of oil on the fire until it thickens a little and darkens. We added salt and half of the spices that we had reserved.
