- Put half of the onion in a blender with the garlic, ginger and tomatoes and whizz to a purée - add some juice if you need to help it along. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large deep frying pan and add the chicken and ground spices. Stir everything around until it is browned and aromatic then remove from the pan.
- Add the remaining oil, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, curry leaves and the remaining onion and stir and fry until the onion is golden. Add the tomato mixture and fry for 5 minutes. Season with salt and add the chicken, then bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the yogurt, bring slowly to a simmer, then cook for a further 30 minutes with a lid on, or until a red oil starts to separate out of the sauce. Stir occasionally to stop anything sticking to the bottom and if the sauce looks too thin at the end, simmer until it thickens.
