Heat oil and butter together in a large, shallow skillet. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook together over medium heat for about 10 minutes. When onions are translucent, add coriander, cayenne, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Stir to mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, mixing thoroughly.
