Ingredients

  • 2 tbsps ghee
  • 1/8 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp yellow mustard seed
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 tsps ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 tsps garam masala

Directions

  • Coarsely chop the red onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Cut up chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
  • In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee. Brown the cumin and mustard for about a minute, stirring to keep from burning.
  • Add the red onion to the skillet with 1 olive oil. Saute for 2 minutes.
  • Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to saute until the onions turn dark purple, 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by about a quarter 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Turn the heat back up to medium and add the raw chicken. Continue cooking until chicken is about half cooked 5-10 minutes, then reduce the heat back to medium-low.
  • Add the garam masala, chili power and turmeric. Simmer until the oil separates and the sauce is the consistency you desire.
  • Serve with rice or boiled potatoes and warm naan.
