A flavorful and aromatic chicken dish with a medley of vegetables, perfect for a wholesome meal.
Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Stir occasionally to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
In the same pan, add cumin, onion, garlic, and turmeric. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the spices.
Add bell pepper, tomato, mushrooms, cayenne pepper, coriander, and salt. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.
Cook until the vegetables start to soften.
Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Adding garam masala at the end preserves its aromatic flavor.
Serve hot with rice or bread, and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor.
