Preparation

Step 1
Dry the chicken pieces with paper towels. Heat the ghee or clarified butter in a heavy-bottomed casserole and fry the chicken until golden. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Soften the onions and the garlic in the ghee or butter. Add the masala and cook, stirring, for two minutes, taking care to prevent burning.
Step 3
Add the stock or water, season with salt and pepper, and return the chicken to the casserole. Simmer gently until chicken is done, about 30 to 45 minutes.
