    • 1 tsp Salt or possibly to taste
    • 1 tsp Freshly grnd black pepper
    • 2 tsp Ginger paste
    • 1 Tbsp. Lemon juice
    • 50 gm Ghee or possibly unsalted butter
    • 350 gm Finely sliced onions
    • 6 x Green cardamom pods
    • 2 Tbsp. Grnd coriander
    • 1/2 tsp Grnd turmeric

    • 150 ml Single cream
    • 1/2 tsp Chilli pwdr
    • 25 gm Slivered almonds

    Directions

    1. Mix the salt, pepper, ginger, garlic and lemon juice together. Rub this mix into the chicken and set aside for 30 min.
    2. Heat the ghee or possibly butter over a medium heat and fry the onions, stirring frequently till they are well browned (10-12 min). Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze out excess fat by pressing the onions to one side of the pan and transfer them to a plate.
    3. Return the pan to the heat and add in the cardamom, coriander and turmeric.
    4. Stir and fry for 30 seconds and add in the chicken. Increase the heat to medium high and fry the chicken till it changes colour (5-6 min), stirring continuously.
    5. Reduce the heat to low and add in the lowfat yoghurt. Bring to a slow simmer , cover the pan and cook for 15 min. Stir once or possibly twice.
    6. Reserve a little fried onions and add in the remainder to the chicken along with the cream, chilli pwdr, slivered and grnd almonds.
    7. Stir and mix well. Cover and simmer for a further 15-20 min, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and serve garnished with the reserved fried onions.
