Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 small tomato, coarsely chopped
  • 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 8 chicken legs, skin removed
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil and ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Cook cumin seeds in hot oil-ghee mixture until seeds begin to change color.

Step 2
Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; continue cooking until onions are browned, about 5 minutes more.

Step 3
Mix in water, tomato, serrano pepper, tomato paste, garam masala, turmeric, and salt; simmer for 5 minutes. Lay chicken into sauce; mix gently to coat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is no longer pink near the bone, about 40 minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.
