In a pan over a medium heat, brown the chicken cubes in clarified butter, then remove from the pan. Add the onion and fry until translucent.

Add the ginger, garlic, and ground spices and cook until the mixture becomes fragrant.

Mix the tomato paste with one cup of water and add it, together with the puréed tomato, to the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes.
