Instructions

1
Heat the mustard oil in a heavy pot until it shimmers.
2
Slip in the nigella or the ground mustard paste and let the oil split — Bengali kitchens call this the kalo jeere moment.
3
Fry the onion to deep gold, then the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell lifts.
4
Tip in the powdered spices and tomatoes; bhunao until the oil separates at the edges.
5
Whisk the yogurt smooth and stir it in off the boil, a spoon at a time, so the doi never curdles.
6
Add the chicken, turn through the masala, and pour in a cup of hot water; cover and simmer until tender, 25-30 minutes.
7
Season, reduce to the consistency you like, and finish with cilantro.

Chef's tip

Taste before the final simmer — chili brands vary wildly.
