INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
    • 🧅 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 🧄 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 🍅 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
    • 🥛 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 🍬 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons paprika
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 🍗 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
    • ½ teaspoon curry powder

STEPS

1

Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2

Stir in garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, ginger, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric into onion mixture; fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

3

Stir tomato sauce into onion and spice mixture; bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes.

4

Mix in cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and paprika. Bring sauce back to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

5

Heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Stir chicken into hot oil; add curry powder. Sear chicken until lightly browned but still pink inside, about 3 minutes.

6

Transfer chicken and any pan juices into sauce. Simmer chicken in sauce until no longer pink, about 30 minutes; adjust sugar and salt to taste.
