Method for making Chicken Lahori Gravy

1. Take a pan and add 2 tbsp oil. Add the onion paste and cook for 2-3 mins till the onions are slightly cooked and golden in colour.
2. Now add the ginger garlic paste and tomato paste and saute. Add salt and the turmeric, kashmiri chilli powder and coriander powder. Cook tomato paste and masalas well. You may add a few tbsp of water so that the masala does not get burnt. The raw smell should disappear and the oil will eventually start separating from the sides.
3. Now add in the cooked Zorabian Chicken Lahori Tikka and mix well. Add ¼th cup water if required. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes till the gravy and the Lahori tikka are well blended and the tikka soaks in the flavours of the gravy and vice versa.
4. Open the pan add the curd little by little and keep stirring so that the curds do not split. Cook for a few more minutes till all is well cooked.
5. Add in the garam masala powder and mix well.
6. Transfer into a serving dish and garnish with chopped coriander leaves, ginger juliennes and sliced green chillies.
