    • tbsp curry powder
    • tbsp ground cumin
    • tsp chili powder
    • Small mixing bowl

    Combine cumin, curry, chili powder and coriander into a small bowl. Then set it aside. This will be your spice mixture.

  • Step 3/7

    • tbsp garam masala
    • lbs chicken breasts
    • Medium mixing bowl

    Pat chicken dry and cut into 1-2 inch cubes. Place chicken cubes into a medium mixing bowl and season with the garam masala. Then mix to incorporate and set aside.

  • Step 4/7

    • tbsp ghee (for frying)
    • Large nonstick skillet
    • cooking spoon

    Place large skillet on medium-high heat and wait a few minutes to heat up. To know when the skillet is ready, wet your hands with some water and flick it on the skillet. If the skillet sizzles, then the skillet is ready. Put the 1 tablespoon of ghee in the large skillet to fry and swirl the skillet around for a few seconds to marinade the skillet. Then put the seasoned chicken into the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Then place cooked chicken into a medium sized bowl and set it aside.

    • 1 cloves garlic
    • tbsp ginger

    • tbsp fenugreek seeds

    • cooking spoon

    Place large sauce on med-high heat and let it warm up for a few minutes. Test the heat by splashing a little water in the sauce pan, If the sauce pan sizzles, then it’s ready. Then place the purée mixture in the sauce pan with the 1/4 cup of ghee, butter, ginger, garlic and the spice mixture. Mix and bring to a boil. Then add the cooked chicken, fenugreek and the peas to the sauce pan. Mix and let it taste season for about 5-10 more minutes on low-med heat.

  • Step 6/7

    • salt to taste
    • cooking spoon

    After further seasoning has occurred, add kosher sea salt to taste. The salt will bring out the flavor of the ingredients more and allow you to decide with your own palate when it tastes ready to eat. I suggest adding 1-2 pinches at a time, mix the ingredients, then taste test the sauce. Repeat the process until you feel the flavors are more prominent and tastes ready to serve.

  • Step 7/7

    • Cilantro (optional)
    • ladle
