How you make it…
1. Heat butter in a pan to a medium heat. Add chillies, onions, ginger and garlic, and cook until onions are golden brown.
2. Turn down the heat and add tomatoes, salt, turmeric, cumin seeds. Cook until the butter starts to rise to the edge of the sauce.
3. Add the chicken wings. Cook on low heat until the water comes out from the meat. Then raise heat for 5–8 mins to dry out the water.
