Optional extras

Kasuri Methi1 tsp

Instructions

1
Give the chicken a quick marinade — salt, turmeric, chili — so it is seasoned to the bone, not the surface.
2
Brown the onions properly in hot oil, eight to ten minutes, till bronze and sweet.
3
Build the masala: paste, tomato, powders — cook until thick, glossy and clearly done.
4
Add the marinated chicken with the almonds; sear on high for five minutes, then add hot water to come halfway and simmer covered.
5
Reduce to your preferred consistency, rest five minutes, and finish with the yogurt and cilantro.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
