Chicken Dopiaza

Method

1. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken, searing it for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on all sides.
2. Add the plenty of onion to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until deeply caramelized and golden.
3. Stir in the ginger and garam masala, tempering the spices into the chicken and onion mixture for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the tomatoes to the pan, crushing them gently, and stir to combine all ingredients into a rich, thick masala base.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer the dopiaza for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. Uncover the pan and cook for a final 3-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring to reduce the sauce to a dense, clinging consistency around the chicken.
