Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add chicken and sear until just opaque on edges, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add chopped tomato and garam masala, stir, and cook until tomato softens, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Whisk yogurt in a bowl, then add to the skillet a few tablespoons at a time, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Stir in crushed kasuri methi. Serve hot with rice, naan, or bread.
