Omg must I say this was SO GOOD. It was giving Indian curry chicken but add ✨tomato ✨ Why have I slept on Indian food for this long? 🫠 Although this looks like a complicated dish it’s pretty easy to make! & you probably have almost all of these ingredient in your home. I know most people choose to blend the tomato sauce together with the onions, however I did not. I liked the extra flavor it provided without blending. This recipe is not the authentic version but I tried my best and tweaked it to my own liking. I LOVE spicy so I made sure to throw in extra spices! (& I cheated and brought some naan bread)
