About

I first watched this dish being made in the tiny kitchen of some Parsi friends in Calcutta. My children love it for its topping of matchstick chips. Garam masala, used in this dish, is a ready-made mixture of Indian spices which is available in small tins.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (2 X 15 ml spoon) sunflower oil
4 onions

Asia
India
Calcutta
Stew

Method

Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Slice the onions finely, put half in the saucepan and just soften over a gentle heat. Fry the remaining onion in a frying pan until golden brown and leave the pan on one side.

Add the garlic and whole chillies to the saucepan and stir in the garam masala. Then add the chicken joints and enough hot water to half cover the chicken. Add salt, cover
