Method

  1. 1

    Char the tomatoes directly over a gas flame or under a very hot grill, turning, for 5-6 minutes until blistered and smoky, then chop.

  2. 2

    Heat the ghee in a pan and cook the chopped onion over medium heat for 10 minutes until deeply golden.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the kashmiri chilli powder and the charred tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken and cook for 8 minutes, then stir in the natural yoghurt a spoonful at a time.

  5. 5

    Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining.

  6. 6

    Stir in the garam masala and serve with rice or flatbread.
