Ingredients
  • 1 Whole Chicken cut into 8 pieces (Or about 3.5 lbs of pre-cut chicken with a mix of bone-on and boneless pieces)
  • 3 tbsp Coconut Oil (Or any cooking oil preferred)
  • 2 Pods of Star Anise
  • 4-5 Pods of cloves (Laung)
  • 2 cup Large Red Onion (Cut into thin slices.)
  • 3 tbsp Kashmiri chilli
  • 2 tsp Ginger and garlic paste (Freshly grated ginger and garlic works fine too)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Tumeric
  • 2 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 5 tbsp Sesame Paste/ Tahini
  • 3-4 Kefir Lime Leaves (Sliced into thin juliens)
Method

  2. 2

    Add Kashmiri chili followed by a splash of water. Add tumeric and coriander powder. Fry the onions, adding a splash of water a few times until you see the bright red color imparted by the Kashmiri chili. 

  3. 3

    Add bone-in pieces first. Fry on medium heat till the chicken starts to turn opaque (about 5 minutes).  

  4. 4

    Add the boneless pieces and stir. Add salt and ginger garlic paste. Fry the chicken, uncovered, on medium heat for about 30-45 minutes, or until it is almost done.

  5. 5

    Add remaining kefir lime leaves and sesame paste.  

  6. 6

    Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Turn off heat and serve hot with rice or roti.
