Ingredients:

• 4-5 chicken breast, diced into 1 inch chunks
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
• 1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped
• 2 tbsp of ginger, chopped
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tsp chilli powder
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 5 tomatoes, chopped
• ½ tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp of fresh coriander, chopped
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• salt to taste

Method:

Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan and add the garlic, green chilli and ginger. Mix them for a minute in hot oil then add the chopped onions. Stir and leave to cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Once the onions have turned golden brown colour, add the turmeric, chilli, cumin, coriander and garam masala. Stir and cook for about a minute.

Add the chopped tomatoes with 100ml water and a good pinch of salt. Stir together, cover the pan and allow it to come to a boil. Stir occasionally until the masala becomes nice and thick

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and coat the pieces in the masala so it is all nicely covered. Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and combined with the thick masala sauce.

Stir in the lemon juice to add a little zing and garnish with fresh coriander to serve. Enjoy!
