1lb fresh chicken, chopped into bite size pieces
Three tablespoons cooking oil or ghee
One large onion, finely sliced
Four cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Three red chillies, seeds removed and finely chopped
One inch of ginger, finely chopped
Three fresh tomatoes, finely chopped or one tin 400g chopped tomatoes
1tbs tomato puree
Handful fresh leaf coriander
1tsp cumin powder
1tsp coriander powder
1tsp turmeric
1tsp garam masalla
1tsp of your favourite curry powder
1tsp salt
Method
Fry the onions in the heated oil over a medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chillies, ginger and garlic and continue frying gently for five minutes.
Add the spices (except the fresh coriander)and salt and cook on the lowest heat for another five minutes.
Add the tomato puree and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let it all bubble away for 10 minutes.
If it looks too thick add some stock or water to the mix. You may find that the tomatoes produce enough liquid on their own.
The curry sauce is now ready. Add the chicken and continue to cook for half and hour.
Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked through before serving.
Serve sprinkled with fresh coriander and accompanied by pilau rice.
