directions
- Mince the onions, garlic, ginger, and chili in a food processor.
- Warm the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds. After a few seconds, when they begin to sputter, add the minced onion mixture.
- Saute, stirring occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes, until the onions are browned.
- Process the tomatoes in the food processor until smooth.
- Reduce the heat to medium under the skillet and add the tomatoes. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until all the liquid has evaporated and the oil appears around the edges.
- Add the sour cream and the yogurt and stir continuously for about 5 minutes, until the oil appears again.
- Add all the spices and salt and cook for one minute.
- Now add the chicken thighs, coating well with sauce. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
- Uncover and mix in the lemon juice and fresh coriander leaves.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve alongside plain rice.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
