Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken boneless cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup plain yogurt whisked

Instructions
- Heat oil or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
