Heat the pan and add the ghee and oil and let it come up to a medium heat then add the star anise and the cardamoms, allow to sizzle for around a minute to infuse the oil.
Add the chopped onions and the salt (the salt draws the moisture out of the onions allowing them to cook down quicker) giving them a good mix and continue cooking on a medium flame/heat until the onions start to brown a little.
Add the garlic and ginger paste mixing it in with the onions thoroughly. Cook for around a minute.
Reduce the heat and add the devils arse powder and the pinch of garam masala mixing well into the onions etc. add a splash of water to help the spices cook and not burn. Cook for around 40 seconds
Add the tomato paste, mix well and turn the heat up high and bring it to a boil.
Add the almond powder and the coconut powder along with the naga and about 1/2 cup of water and the chopped chillis. Let this cook on high for a min then bring to a simmer on a med-low heat for about 5 mins.
At this stage add the precooked chicken tikka and let it heat through then add the yogurt, sugar, coriander, and colouring mix well and put back on a medium-low flame and allow to come back up to simmer. simmer gently for 15 - 20 minutes
Add if needed, add hot water to make the sauce the consistency you require and add salt to taste, and youβre done.
Garnish with coriander and sliced chillis
