Preparation
Step 1
1. Pre-heat the oven @ 180 ºC.
2. In a casserole (that's big enough for the chicken) heat the ghee until is hot.
3. Add in the chicken, lime juice, big onion, tumeric, chilli paste and a little salt. Stir and leave it for few minutes until it boils.
4. Add in the potatos wedges and carrots. Stir until well mix and let them cooked until soften a bit.
5. Pour in the yogurt and add in some water (adjust to your liking if you prefer to the dish to have more gravy or less because vegetables will give out juices as well.) Cook until meat is tender.
6. Add in the quarterd tomatoes, chillie powder and fried crispy shallots. Bake in the oven @ 180 º C for 10-15 minutes until brown.
Serve hot with rice or naan, bread, chapatis...
Note: If you like it more hot or spicy, just add extra chilli powder or fresh chillies.. :-D Sometimes, I used extra spoonfuls of Ghee I made myself by using unsalted butter. If you can't find unsalted butter, you can use salted butter to make Ghee but reduce the amount of salt required in the recipe. More Ghee means better aroma your dish is but watch out if you're health concerned.
