Instructions
Coat the chicken with the turmeric powder and leave aside while you get all the other ingredients ready.
Heat the oil up in your chosen pan, over medium high heat.
Add the sugar followed by the chicken to the oil and brown for a couple of minutes, turning once. This stage gives depth to the final dish.
Add the onions and sauté for about a minute.
Add the pounded garlic and ginger and cook for just 30 seconds.
Add the dry spices and salt and coat thoroughly for about a minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and water, bring to boil and leave to cook until chicken is done, about 45 minutes, depending on the size of your portions.
Serve in the karahi, if using, with the garnish sprinkled all over & dig in while it's still hot!
