Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (390ยฐF).
-
Roast Onions:
- Place the onions in the preheated oven and roast for one hour until they are tender and caramelized.
-
Prepare Onion Paste:
- Once roasted, finely chop the onions using a food processor until they form a smooth paste.
-
Prepare Spice Blend:
- Grind the cinnamon stick into a fine powder and add it to the onion paste.
- To the paste, add the Madras curry powder, ground ginger, ground cloves, white wine vinegar, and minced garlic cloves.
-
Blend into Paste:
- Blend the ingredients until a thick and fragrant paste is formed. Adjust the consistency by adding more vinegar if needed.

Prepare Chicken:

Cook Chicken:
- In a non-stick wok, fry the chicken cubes for about 2 minutes until they start to brown.

Add Spice Paste:

Simmer:
