Method

  1. Toss the chicken thighs with yogurt, lemon juice, turmeric, garam masala, chilli powder, cumin, ginger, garlic and salt.
  2. Heat ghee in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Add tomato passata, cream and sugar. Stir in any leftover marinade. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes until thick.
  4. Return the chicken and simmer 5 minutes until cooked through. Scatter coriander and serve.

Shopping tip

Garam masala is easy at Continente. Ghee shows up in the world-food aisle; manteiga works. Natas and passata are supermarket staples.
