Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Before we begin, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients to create the perfect British Indian Restaurant style precooked chicken. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 500 grams of chicken, boneless and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon of coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon of chili powder (adjust according to your spice tolerance)
• 1 teaspoon of garam masala
• 1 cup of plain yogurt
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnishing

Step 2: Marinating the Chicken
Now that you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to marinate the chicken to enhance its flavors. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger, garlic, tomato paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well until all the spices are nicely incorporated. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight for the best results).

Step 3: Cooking the Precooked Chicken
Once the chicken has marinated, it’s time to cook it to perfection. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown. This will take around 5-7 minutes. Now, add the marinated chicken and cook it on medium heat until it is fully cooked through. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Adding the Finishing Touches
Now that the chicken is cooked, it’s time to add the finishing touches to elevate its flavors. Sprinkle some fresh coriander leaves over the chicken and give it a gentle stir. This will enhance the aroma and add a burst of freshness to the dish. Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Once you’re satisfied with the flavors, turn off the heat and transfer the precooked chicken to a serving dish.

Step 5: Serving and Enjoying the Dish
Congratulations! You have successfully created a delicious British Indian Restaurant style precooked chicken. It’s now time to savor and enjoy your creation. Serve the chicken with steamed basmati rice, naan bread, or rotis for a complete meal.
