Ingredients
½kg bone in Chicken, 2 inch pieces
2tablespoonsGinger Garlic Paste
1 1/4teaspoonSalt
1tablespoonLime Juice
1tablespoonGhee, or Clarified Butter
2Cinnamon sticks
2Bayleaves
5Cloves
8 – 10Peppercorns
2Green Chillies, slit lengthwise
3largeOnions, sliced
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken with ginger garlic paste, salt and lemon juice. Set aside while you slice the onions.
- Once the chicken has been marinating for 15-20 minutes, heat ghee in a pan. Add cinnamon, bayleaves, cloves and peppercorns and saute. In about 30 seconds, your kitchen will fill up with this beautiful aroma from all the spices.
- Add green chillies and saute for a minute. Add chicken and brown on both sides for about 2 minutes on high heat.
- Add the sliced onions. There is no need to saute or fry them. Just layer them on top of the chicken. Resist the temptation to stir things around too much.
Place a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, turn the chicken once. Add two tablespoons of water to the marinade bowl and mix it with the leftover paste. Add this to the pan. When the chicken is just about cooked (around the 20-minute mark), take off the lid, let all the water evaporate and let the chicken brown in its juices. Serve hot.
