Ingredients

1 pound chicken thighs, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chile powder
salt to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ onion, chopped
2 dried red chile peppers, or more to taste
1 teaspoon hulled, split pigeon peas (toor dal)
½ teaspoon whole fenugreek seeds

Directions

Combine chicken thighs, turmeric, cumin, chile powder, and salt in a large bowl; mix until thoroughly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, about 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, chile peppers, split pigeon peas, and fenugreek seeds; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
