Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the chicken in yogurt and spices (Step 1)
  • Searing the chicken until browned but not fully cooked (Step 3)
  • Scraping the fond when adding tomatoes (Step 6)
  • Blending the sauce to a smooth consistency (Step 8)
  • Finishing the chicken in the sauce without over‑boiling (Step 9)

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a splatter guard or lid nearby.
  • The sauce will be hot when blending; vent the blender lid slightly to allow steam to escape.
