Punjabi Chicken in Thick Gravy image

This is a type of chicken curry in a thick gravy with a nice spicy flavor, but is not too hot. You may adjust the 'heat' by adding more serrano peppers. Serve over rice, or with chapatti or roti.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
