Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Garam Masala Made with 1 cinnamon stick, 5 green cardamoms, 7-8 cloves, 3 star anise, 2 tsp each of fennel seeds and mace blade - all of this is ground into a powder.
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 cups onions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup oil I used grapeseed
  • 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste
  • 1.5 tablespoons thai green chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon Tahini paste
  • 1.5 tablespoons ground cashews (or use crunchy unsweetened peanut butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 cups Plain yogurt (suggested full fat)
  • 2 lb chicken skinless drumsticks, thigh and breast pieces
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped mint

Instructions

  1. Heat up the oil and fry the onions to a golden brown, in small batches
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix the onions and the chicken with the rest of the ingredients except the mint and lemon.
  3. Set this aside for about 15 minutes
  4. Take your best looking big dutch oven, which is big enough to have more than 2/3 of space left after you put the entire chicken and the marinade in it.
  5. Take a griddle/ saute pan and place it on top of your stove on medium heat
  6. Place the dutch oven on top of the griddle and cover.
  7. Cook on low heat, undisturbed and covered for about 35- 45 minutes
  8. The settings in your stove and the heat distribution in your dutch ovens may vary.. use your best judgement.
  9. When ready to serve, dash in some lemon juice and mint and eat with naan or roti.
