In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions in 2 tablespoons of ghee until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 3
Add the chicken pieces to the pot, along with cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Season with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on all sides.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
