Instructions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken and soak it in 4 cups|950 ml water. Squeeze in the juice of the lemons and let it soak for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse the chicken thoroughly. Use a fork to pierce the chicken pieces a few times to help them absorb the flavors while cooking. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.

Step 3

In a food processor, blend the garlic and ginger into a paste. Add a tablespoon of olive oil if needed to facilitate the process. Transfer the paste to the saucepan with the caramelized onions. Cook for about 3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the paprika and ground cardamom, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and 1 cup|250 ml water. Cook, covered slightly, and stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to peel. Peel the eggs and pierce them with a fork.

Step 6

Add the peeled eggs to the saucepan along with garam masala and season with salt. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the chicken and eggs over quinoa or brown rice, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
