Ingredient List

• 500g chicken
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tsp cardamom
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp black pepper

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onion, ginger, and garlic until soft. Add the masala, chilli, cardamom, and coriander and cook for a minute until fragrant.

Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, and yoghurt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce and simmer for 10–15 minutes. Stir in the butter.
