Instructions

  1. Mix 2 tablespoons of pressed garlic and 2 tablespoons of grated ginger to a paste and set aside.
  2. Roughly dice 600 g chicken and place in a bowl. Add 100 g yogurt to the meat. Also add the following ingredients to the meat: half of the garlic-ginger paste, 1 teaspoon chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin. Mix everything well and let the meat marinate for about 30-45 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees circulating air. Put the meat on skewers and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once in between.
  4. Cut the onion into small cubes. Melt 60 g butter in a pan (not too hot) and fry the onion until translucent. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, stir in well and fry briefly. Add the following ingredients: The second half of the garlic-ginger paste, cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon chilli flakes, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 tablespoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon turmeric. Mix everything well and then add 400 g of cream.
  5. Remove the meat from the skewers and add to the sauce. Cook while stirring for about 5 minutes. Season to taste: add salt if necessary.
  6. Tip: If you want it to be fruity, add more tomato paste. Increase the amount of chilli for more spiciness.
  7. Suitable side dishes are naan bread and / or rice.
