Heat a large cast-iron skillet to medium high. Add a tablespoon of ghee, followed by the chicken pieces. Sauté them on each side for 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium low, and, using tongs or a spoon, place the pieces in a bowl and set aside.

Add the second tablespoon of ghee to the pan, followed by the onion, ginger, garlic, spices, and salt. Sauté the ingredients for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
