- Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt.
- Heat the oil in a large frypan over high heat; partially cook the chicken in the hot oil in batches until completely browned. Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat under the frypan to medium-high; add the onion, garlic and ginger to the oil remaining in the frypan and cook and stir until the onion turns translucent, about 8 minutes.
- Stir the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, and 1 tablespoon of water into the onion mixture; allow to heat together for about 1 minute while stirring. Mix the tomatoes, yoghurt, 1 tablespoon chopped coriander, and 1 teaspoon salt into the mixture. Return the chicken breast to the frypan along with any juices on the plate. Pour 1/2 cup (85ml) water into the mixture; bring to a boil, turning the chicken to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala and 1 tablespoon coriander over the chicken.
- Cover the frypan and simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice to serve.

I took another reviewers advice and made the recipe exactly as instructed. I found the result to be a delicious, spicy, aromatic tasty dish that was not overly hot. I will definitely make this again! - 06 Jan 2018
I have made this a number of times in the last couple of weeks, using chicken and with just veges for my veg daughter. It is great and easily doubled. Get the authentic Indian flavour without too much complicated spice mixing. No need to change anything. If I'm making stock while I'm cooking this recipe, I'll add stock instead of water into the recipe. Definitely my new go-to recipe. - 01 Oct 2017
If I'm going to review a recipe it will only be if I stayed true to the instructions. I can't justify giving a bad review after writing about all the changes I made. Well guess what? This recipe is freakin great! Every bite was like a party in my mouth. Young and old, everyone enjoyed it. The leftovers were even better the next day. DON'T CHANGE A THING. - 03 Jan 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
