Method

  1. 01

    Make the spice paste

    Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chilli. Mix them with the cumin, turmeric, timur, and asafoetida; add the tomato and blend or stir until you have an even paste.

  2. 02

    Cook the base and chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the paste and cook, stirring, for 6–7 minutes, until aromatic and no longer smelling raw. Pour in the stock, bring it to a boil, then simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until cooked; remove it and shred it into large pieces.
