A recipe which I brought back from my travels to India and I love serving at my dinner parties. The prep time is not too long and the hour on the stove-top fills the house with amazing aromas, before everyone arrives. Served with traditional white basmati rice and chapatis, my friends all love this feel-good, home-cooked, family-style, chicken curry.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Cook and stir the onions in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
