5 cardamom pods
1 stick cinnamon
5 cloves

For the curry
1 tbsp salted butter
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 stick cinnamon
4 cardamom pods
1 onion, finely chopped
5 tomatoes, pureed
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 inch ginger, grated
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp chilli powder

    Love your recipes and videos! Can you please give some advice about what Garam Marsala to buy or a recipe to make my own. I have tried some garam Marsala that have not tasted very good,
    Thank you, Cathy

    I’d love to try this. Is there a written recipe, or only the video recipe? I see the ingredient list, but am unable to find a written recipe.

    I’m sure enjoying the “Healthy Indian” book!

    Thanks

    I LOVE this recipe. I used tofu instead of chicken and vegan yogurt instead of dairy yogurt. The results were fabulous. I love Chetna’s recipes because they are vibrantly flavored and adaptable. This is one of my favorite Chetna recipes.

    The best chicken curry recipe ( I add a pinch of fenugreek as it’s super strong)

    I made this last night, and my family loved it. Perfectly spiced, flavorful. Delicious.
    I will make it again. But I did underestimate the time for the various steps. However, I have my notes, and will be able to get this on the table, next time, much more smoothly. I also liked that by the end of the cooking, I had a neat and tidy kitchen, and only one potto clean up. So cool. Thanks for a fabulous meal.
