Cut 2 medium red onions into quarters.

If using curry powder, add 2 tbsp instead of the previous ingredients.

9

Add ¼ cup of oil to the blending jar and grind all ingredients into a smooth paste without adding water.

Transfer the curry paste to a thick-bottomed cooking pot and cook on high flame for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Sear the chicken on high flame for 1 minute.

Add water (rinse it in the blending jar) to the pot and stir.
