Ingredients

  • 100 ml Oil
  • 600 g Chicken
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 6 Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Bullet Chilli
  • 1 Ginger julliened

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a wide karahi or deep pan over medium–high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
  • Add the chicken and cook uncovered, stirring regularly, until it changes colour and begins to lightly brown.
  • Stir in the garlic paste and ginger paste, letting them cook briefly until fragrant and the raw aroma disappears.
  • Add the tomatoes and mix well so they coat the chicken evenly.
  • Cover the pan and allow the tomatoes to soften and break down, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the lid, then add the chilli flakes, black pepper, salt, and bullet chilli, mixing thoroughly.
  • Continue cooking on medium heat until the tomatoes reduce into a thick masala and the oil visibly separates.
  • Finish by stirring through the julienned ginger, then cook for a final minute before serving hot.
