Ingredients

• 2-3 lb. broiler fryer chicken
• 3 T butter or margarine
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. turmeric
• 8 whole cloves
• 1-inch piece cinnamon stick
• 1/4 tsp. ground cardamon
• 2 small onions
• 1/2 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. salt

Method

1. Cut chicken into parts. Melt butter or margarine in a heavy skillet, fit in the chicken pieces and sprinkle with ginger, turmeric, cloves, cinnamon stick (broken in pieces) and cardamon. Fry over a medium heat until nicely browned. Takes about 12 to 15 minutes.
2. While chicken browns, cut onions into thin slices and crush or mince the garlic. Toss onions, garlic, chili powder over chicken, cover tightly and cook very slowly for 30 min. Give the skillet a good shake about every 10 min. during the cooking period but don't remove the cover. At the end of 30 min. add salt and test for doneness. Serves 3 to 4.
