Recipe View Slow Cook for Tenderness: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is incredibly tender and the oil has separated from the sauce. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (90-120 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of olive oil.
Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve hot with basmati rice or naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.
