Instructions

  1. 1 Heat ghee in a large heavy skillet over medium heat and cook and stir red onion in the hot butter until starting to brown, about 8 minutes; stir in garlic and fresh ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir in chicken pieces and cook and stir until lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
  2. 2 Mix ground fennel, lal mirchi, cumin, coriander, ground ginger, fenugreek, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper in a bowl with 1 to 2 tablespoons water or as needed to make a paste; stir into the chicken and fry spice paste for 2 minutes. Pour in remaining 1/4 cup water and fry the spices and chicken until the water has almost evaporated, 7 to 8 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent spices from burning.
  3. 3 Mix in jwala chiles, habanero chiles, and tomatoes; cook, stirring often, until tomatoes are softened and start to break apart, about 10 minutes. If chicken is still slightly pink inside, stir in more water, a tablespoon at a time, and cook until water has evaporated and chicken is cooked through.

Instructions

  1. 1 Slice leek in half lengthwise, then slice thinly crosswise.
  2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, nonstick, broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven's broiler with the rack in the upper third position.
  4. 4 Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add baking powder, fenugreek, salt, and turmeric; whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in parsley, cilantro, dill, and leeks. Gently stir to combine; the mixture will be mostly herbs, with just enough egg for moisture.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add herb mixture and distribute evenly in the skillet, smoothing the top. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom and edges are just set, about 8 minutes.
  6. 6 Uncover and cook under the preheated broiler until the top and middle are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
