Ingredients:

  • 8 Supreme chicken drumsticks (skins removed)
  • 15 whole black peppercorns (or ¼ tsp ground black pepper)
  • 8 whole cloves (or ⅛ tsp ground cloves)
  • 5-6 Kashmiri whole red chillies, stemmed (or 2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder)
  • 1 whole 7cm cinnamon stick (or ½ tsp ground cinnamon)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (or ¾ tsp ground cumin)
  • 10 garlic cloves
  • 5cm-piece ginger, peeled and quartered
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar, plus more as needed
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar, plus more as needed

Cooking Instructions

  • Toast peppercorns, cloves, whole chillies, cinnamon stick and cumin seeds in a hot pan until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Grind cooled spices to a fine powder. Add garlic, ginger, vinegar and water and grind to a smooth curry paste.
  • Make shallow slits in drumsticks and season with salt and turmeric. Coat with curry paste, marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours refrigerated.
