3. Add sliced onion, chopped chilies, and half of the coriander leaves to the chicken. Mix well and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk thick Greek yogurt with garlic paste, salt, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
5. Heat mustard oil in a small pan until smoking hot, then turn off the heat and stir in the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, and paprika.
6. Pour the hot tadka into the yogurt mixture and swirl gently to keep the streaks.

## Tips

- I recommend using boneless chicken thigh.

- Enjoy with rotis or rice.
