Ingredients
- 5-6 dried chillies
- 150g Ghee
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1kg small chicken, jointed into eight pieces
- 5 cloves Garlic, crushed
- 1/ 2 tsp Garam masala
Method
1. Soak the chillies in water to cover and leave on one side for 4-5 hours. Discard the soaking water and remove the seeds from the chillies. If you prefer a fiery chilli kick, leave the seeds in 1-2 chillies – pat dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.2. Heat the ghee in a large casserole and add the salt and chillies. After a minute or two add the chicken pieces to the pan one by one and cover with a lid. Cook on a very low heat for 30-40 minutes until tender. The chicken should poach in the warm ghee, rather than frying.
3. Stir in the garlic and continue cooking for a further 15 minutes. Sprinkle with garam masala and serve with Indian bread.

We cooked Sailana Junglee Murgh and the ghee made the chicken very moist and you could really taste the flavours in the chicken because of the slow cooking. We cooked it with green lentil dal and saffron pilau. It was spicy but you could taste the individual flavours. A great recipe we will use again.
