Method
- 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and fry the bay leaves for 30 seconds, then add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes until golden.
- 2
Add the garlic and the chicken thighs and brown for 6 minutes, turning, on all sides.
- 3
Stir in the kashmiri chilli powder, ground fennel and ground ginger, then add the natural yoghurt a spoonful at a time, stirring so it does not split.
- 4
Pour in 200ml water, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, turning the chicken once, until cooked through with no pink remaining near the bone.
- 5
Uncover and simmer for a further 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
