Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a heavy karahi and soften the onions in it patiently until they turn deep gold at the edges.
2
Add the Chicken and fry hard until it takes colour on every side.
3
Tip in Ghee and Garlic, stirring to lift the browned bits from the pan floor.
4
Add the spices and salt and fry for two minutes, adding splashes of hot water so nothing catches.
5
Cover and simmer on a low flame until the Chicken is fork-tender and the oil separates at the edges of the masala — the classic 'tayyar' sign.
6
Garnish with ginger, chillies and coriander, and serve with roti or rice.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
