Instructions
Heat ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 8 minutes until soft and golden. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute.
Add garam masala, cardamom, and turmeric. Stir for 30 seconds. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, turning to coat in the spices.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in yogurt one spoonful at a time (to prevent curdling), then add ground almonds and salt. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Tip: Adding yogurt gradually and on low heat prevents it from splitting. Stir each spoonful in completely before adding the next.
Stir in the cream. Simmer uncovered for 2 more minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve over basmati rice.
