Directions

Step 1

Heat the ghee or olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt.

Cover the pan and let the chicken cook on medium heat for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and the oil starts to separate from the masala.

Step 7

Add the slit green chilies and garam masala to the chicken, mixing well.
