2 medium onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
6 -7 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger
2 green chili peppers

1/2 teaspoon methi seeds (fenugreek found in Indian markets) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dry red pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, sauté onions in butter on medium high heat.

  • Add to onion mixture and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
  • Place mixture in food processor and pulse until mixed.
  • Return mixture to stove. Add in chopped tomatoes and tomato paste.
  • Continue to cook a few minutes longer, until butter is released from mixture.
  • Add in methi, red pepper, salt, turmeric, masala and chicken pieces.

  • Cover and stir occasionally until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once chicken is cooked, add just enough water so that chicken is almost, but not quite covered.

  • Can be eaten on a bed of rice or with Indian bread (chapatti or naan).
