 Directions

1. Place chicken in a bowl and marinate with coconut cream and spices, set aside.
2. Add ghee to a pan on medium heat. Once ghee melts, add onions and cook until completely dark golden-brown but be careful not to burn them (this will take at least 15-20 minutes. Don”™t worry if it”™s dark, that”™s how Indian people cook their onions ;))
3. Add ginger and garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
4. Add spices and let them bloom for a minute. Then add your chicken mixture and briefly stir-fry to coat chicken with the masala you”™ve made.
5. Add green pepper and tomato sauce and cover your pan. Let everything simmer for 12-15 minutes.
6. Add 1 can of coconut milk and a pinch of kasoori methi - let it simmer for another few minutes.
7. Garnish with cilantro and serve with paleo naan.
