Instructions
- 1
Marinate the chicken in yogurt, spices and salt for at least 30 minutes — overnight if you plan like a grandmother.
- 2
Brown the meat in hot fat so every piece picks up colour before any liquid enters.
- 3
Fry the onions deep gold, add the aromatics and ground spices, and bhunao until the oil separates.
- 4
Return the meat, add hot water to come halfway, and simmer covered until tender, 20-30 minutes.

Uncover, reduce to the consistency the name promises, and rest before serving.
Chef's tip
The oil on the surface of the masala is your timer; don't rush past it.
