Let’s get cooking.

  1. 01

    Slice onions thinly and fry in oil over medium heat until evenly deep golden, about 12 minutes. Lift out and crush when cool. Whisk yogurt with ground spices and salt.

  2. 02

    In the same oil, fry cardamom, cinnamon, minced ginger and garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken and brown 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the yogurt mixture gradually.

  3. 03

    Add crushed onion and water. Cover and simmer 25–30 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Uncover briefly to thicken the gravy; remove whole spices before serving.

A little kitchen care

Use a food thermometer: poultry 74°C, ground beef 71°C, fish 63°C. Cook eggs until whites and yolks are firm. Keep raw and ready-to-eat foods separate.
