Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the balti spice mix, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken breast and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Cook the chicken until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee or vegetable oil. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the tomato puree, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is heated through.
5
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is fully coated.
