Quick-Made Recipe

1. Heat ghee in a karahi or deep pan; add chicken pieces with coarsely crushed ginger, garlic, and generous green chillies—sauté on high heat until chicken changes colour and aromatics release fragrance.
2. Stir in chopped tomatoes, rock salt, black pepper, and cumin; cook covered on medium flame, allowing chicken to release juices and tomatoes to soften into a thick gravy.
3. Uncover and bhuno (stir-fry) vigorously on high heat until oil separates and gravy clings to the chicken, intensifying the mirchi flavours.
4. Add a splash of water if needed for desired consistency; simmer briefly with fresh coriander and ginger juliennes.
