Ingredients	Instructions
1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs	Step 1 Prepare all ingredients. Dice onions into small pieces. Wash and slice serrano pepper in half and remove seeds. Wash and dice tomatoes. Wash mint leaves and cut into tiny pieces. Wash bay leaf and leave whole. Remove skin of garlic then grind garlic and ginger together using either a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Clean and cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Set all ingredients aside. I love using these bowls for prep (they are easy to clean and can go in the dishwasher).
3 tablespoons olive oil	Step 2 Heat olive oil in a pan with tall sides (like this). Add bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, and green cardamom. Cook for 3 minutes on medium heat or until you can smell the spices.
3 medium onions	Step 3  Add onions and serrano pepper. Sauté until the onions become golden. This will take around 5 minutes.
1 serrano pepper	Step 4  Add ginger and garlic paste and cook for about a minute.
1 inch ginger piece (peeled)	Step 5   Add tomatoes, turmeric, and salt. Mix and cook until tomatoes are mushy.
4 cloves garlic	Step 6 Turn heat to low. Stir in yogurt, red chili powder, garam masala, and coriander powder. Cook for about 3 minutes.
2 medium tomatoes	Step 7 Add chicken and mint and turn heat to medium. Cook until the chicken looks completely white, I would recommend at least 5-7 minutes.
1/2 cup plain yogurt	Step 8 Cover the pan and turn temperature to low for 5 minutes.
1 teaspoon salt	Step 9 Warm 1 cup of water in a tea kettle or on the stove.
3 mint leaves	Step 10 Add 1/2 cup water to the pot of curry. Cover and continue to let cook until the chicken is fully cooked. NOTE: Chicken should be cooked to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit before consumption. You can use a meat thermometer to check. Add more warm water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Serve over rice or with naan bread and enjoy!
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
3 green cardamom
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 bay leaf
4 cloves
2 inch cinnamon piece
Optional: rice and naan bread
