When the onions are soft and getting a blush of color, add freshly microplaned garlic and ginger and cook for a few more minutes. This is two big pieces of ginger and three cloves of Russian Red garlic. Use as much or as little as you like.

Add in the chicken yogurt spice mix and stir in 2 28oz cans of diced tomatoes, mostly drained, and bring to a high simmer.

Here’s where I cheat a little so I get as much as possible. I add some chicken stock to fill the pot then sift 1/4 cup of flour as a thickener. Mix that in.

Finally, add another 1/4 cup of butter and a good amount of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) and combine.

When it’s nearly at a boil, pop it into a 275 degree oven with the lid cracked for 2 or so hours.This will a) give some evaporation and reduction b) create a skin of maillard reaction goodness that can be periodically stirred in for even greater flavor. More later when it comes out.

275 F, right? As I do some quick math i realize, yeah has to be F.

Oh yeah. Canadian is a weird dialect where one switches between metric and imperial randomly and without consistency. 275F. It's a braise, not a pizza.

Sweden is mostly metric, but we drive in long or Swedish miles. Car mileage is reported in “mil”, and if you mistakenly thought it was British miles then that absolute stunning deal you got on a used car might shock you to know it’s 10x worse! 🤣 (or 6x, whatever, I don’t know the exact conversion)

Non oven temperatures are celsius, ovens are fahrenheit People are measured by the foot and pound almost exclusively Food is advertised in pounds, sold in kilos It's all very confusing

There's a very large ocean between Australia and the US. I can see Washington State from only a few kilometers (huh, huh?) from my house.

Finally, add some cilantro unless you’re one of those extremely wrong people and some naan and you’re in for a treat.

A couple of answers before they’re asked. I will quote post the beginning of this thread with a picture of the recipe I mostly followed later. I’ve never made it exactly the same in the 20 years I’ve been making it. It’s more yellow than you’re used to because I use more turmeric.
