## Ingredients

- onions, chopped finely
- generous amount butter
- garlic
- ginger
- just enough passata
- a splash water
- garam masala
- coriander
- red chili bizar
- salt
- a bit yogurt
- green chilies
- chicken

## Instructions

1. Start with finely chopped onions in a pan with a generous amount of butter.
2. Cook the onions until they are deep golden, taking your time to ensure proper browning as this color gives body to the curry.
3. Once the onions have achieved the desired color, stir in garlic and ginger and continue to brown them properly, ensuring no raw garlic taste.
4. Add passata, just enough to loosen things up, and a splash of water to slow down the cooking.
5. Add garam masala, coriander, red chili bizar, and salt, and cook them through thoroughly to allow the flavors to settle and prevent a grainy texture.
6. Stir in a bit of yogurt for tang and depth, and let it cook down nicely.
7. Add green chilies, ensuring not to add them too early in the cooking process.
8. Wait for the butter or oil to separate from the masala, which indicates it's ready.
9. Add chicken or your chosen ingredient at this point.

- Cook spices through; don't add garam masala at the end to prevent a grainy texture and allow flavors to settle.
- Add green chilies later to prevent a harsh throat hit.
- The curry is ready when butter or oil separates from the masala.
