4. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili powder over top of chicken. Mix well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Add tomatoes, yogurt mixture, 1/2 cup cilantro and salt. Mix well. Cover and bring to a boil.

6. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 25 minutes.

7. Turn off heat. Stir in garam masala and 3 tbs. cilantro (or more cilantro to taste).

8. Garnish with remaining cilantro before serving. Serve with rice or any Indian bread.

Side note it is always better to let this rest before serving or to even make the day before because then the flavors really come together into yumminess!
