For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in ginger, garlic, turmeric and a pinch of salt for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level. You can also add a chopped green chili along with the onions for extra heat. Ghee adds a rich, nutty flavor, but you can substitute it with butter or more olive oil if needed. Serve with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Stir in 1/3 of the onion; cook and stir until the onion is golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Remove the onion from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
02
StepPlace the remaining 2/3 of onion and the bay leaf into the same skillet over high heat. Cook and stir until the onion has turned golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water, then add the turmeric, chili powder, paprika, ginger, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook and stir until the liquid has reduced, then stir in another tablespoon of water.
03
StepPlace the chicken and tomato slices into the onion mixture. Season with salt and sugar. Stir in the cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, ghee, and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and simmer on low until the liquid has reduced, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir in the coriander. Simmer until the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle with cilantro and reserved fried onions before serving.
