Preparation
Step 1
Season chicken with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the ghee. Stir-fry the onions until glossy. Season with the remaining tablespoon salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and sugar. Continue to stir-fry until soft but do not allow to brown.
Add the garlic, ginger, jalapeno, bay leaf, and curry powder. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until spices bloom and become aromatic.
Add the reserved seasoned chicken pieces, tomatoes, tomato paste, potatoes, and 4 cups of chicken stock. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When mixture comes to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until chicken pieces are done, about 30 minutes. Add more chicken stock, as necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and sugar.
