Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 8 chicken legs, skin removed

Directions

  1. Heat oil and ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Cook cumin seeds in hot oil-ghee mixture until seeds begin to change color.

  2. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; continue cooking until onions are browned, about 5 minutes more.
