📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine chicken with all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade; let marinate for ⏱️ 10 minutes to an hour (or overnight if time allows).
2
Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. When sizzling, add chicken pieces in batches of two or three, making sure not to crowd the pan. Fry until browned for only ⏱️ 3 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm. (You will finish cooking the chicken in the sauce.)
3
Melt the butter in the same pan. Fry the onions until soft (about ⏱️ 3 minutes) while scraping up any browned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.

4
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for ⏱️ 1 minute until fragrant, then add garam masala, cumin, turmeric and coriander. Fry for about ⏱️ 20 seconds until fragrant, while stirring occasionally.
