Ingredients
- 100 ml olive oil
- 2 onions
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 kg chicken Drumsticks
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder Haldi
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp garlic paste
- 1 green chillies
- 1 tsp cumin seeds Jeera
- 1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves Methi
- Coriander
Instructions
- In a pan add the olive oil and heat up for 1-2 minutes on medium heat until hot
- Add the finely sliced onions and cook the onions for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned – make sure that the oil is hot before the onions are added as this will allow the onions to soften properly
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft
- Add the salt, garlic paste, chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and the finely chopped green chillies then cook the spices for 5 minutes ensuring that you add some water so that the spices do not burn
- Add the chicken drumsticks and coat with the masala before covering with a lid and allowing to cook for 20-30 minutes – you can use whole chicken or other parts of the chicken if you prefer
- Add the crushed cumin seeds, dried fenugreek leaves and freshly chopped coriander then cook for 2-3 minutes
- Serve with naan bread and enjoy!
