Keep this aside.

Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to a pan set on medium heat
Once the ghee melts, add curry leaves and stir fry for a few seconds
Add onions,1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir fry till the onions are translucent (~ 3 minutes)

Add the chicken and mix well
Let it cook for approximately 10 minutes
Add half of the tamarind concentrate and salt to taste
