Directions

Prep 15 minCook 25 min
  1. 1

    Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Halve the onion; finely chop one half and thinly slice the other.

  2. 2

    Warm the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

  3. 3

    Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, and cardamom pods; let them sizzle until fragrant, about 20–30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Stir in the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2–3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken and cook, stirring to coat in the aromatics, until no longer pink on the outside, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, combine the chopped onion, grated ginger, crushed garlic, curry paste, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the heavy cream until smooth.

  7. 7

    Pour the cream mixture over the chicken and stir to coat. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Add 2–3 tablespoons water, cover, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is silky, about 10 minutes. Adjust salt to taste and serve hot.
