• 480 grams chicken cut into small pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped finely
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 2 teaspoons grated root ginger

1. Melt butter and saute the chicken, onion and garlic until the chicken is cooked.
2. Add ginger, chili, tumeric, cinnamon and garam masala
3. Cook gently for 5 minutes
4. Add tomato paste, mushrooms, water, salt and pepper and simmer another 5 minutes until sauce has thickened.
