Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
2 - 3 green chilli peppers - finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 tbsp mixed powder or curry powder
2 tablespoons tomato puree
250ml (1 cup) base curry sauce
300g (11 oz) pre-cooked chicken
1 tomato quartered
1 teapsoon of fenugreek leaves and a teaspoon of garam masala ( these are both optional )
1 small bunch chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste

Steps:

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and bell peppers and fry for about three minutes. You want the veggies to still have a bit of bite to them.
Stir in the garlic and ginger paste and fry for a further 30 seconds and then add the green chillies, chilli powder and mixed powder.
Stir well to coat the veggies with the spices and then add the tomato puree and bring to a simmer.
Now add a ladle or two of the base sauce. Let this come to a simmer. Do not stir unless the sauce is sticking to the pan.
Add the chicken to the simmering sauce and stir so that it is coated with the sauce mixture. You are building this curry from the bottom up. If it is looking dry, add more base sauce. If you add too much, just cook it down until you are happy with the consistency. Ad the tomato and stir in and heath through for a minute
Season with salt to taste and adjust other seasoning too. If you want it spicier, you could add more chilli powder or green chillies for example. Just be sure to simmer any added spices for a while to cook out the raw flavour.
Sprinkle the fenugreek leaves and garam masala on top. Garnish with the chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves and a twist of lemon or lime to serve.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

½ large onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
vegetable oil, for frying
400g can plum tomatoes
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
2-3 chicken breasts, diced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
½ large onion, sliced
1 red pepper, chopped
2 red chillies, finely chopped (optional)
2 tsp garam masala
handful of fresh, chopped coriander leaves
cooked basmati rice or naan bread to serve

Steps:

Take 2-3 diced chicken breasts and coat in 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander and 1 tsp turmeric then leave it to marinate in the fridge while you make the sauce.
To make the sauce, fry ½ roughly chopped large onion, 2 chopped garlic cloves and 1 finely chopped green chilli in a large pan with a little vegetable oil, for around 5 mins, until browned.
Add 300ml water to the onion mixture and simmer for around 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put a 400g can plum tomatoes in a food processor and give it a good whizz (aim for a smooth consistency).
Heat another large pan and gently fry 1 tbsp coriander, 1 tbsp cumin and 1 tsp turmeric in a splash of oil for about a minute. Add the tomatoes to this pan and simmer for around 10 minutes.
Next, whizz your onion mixture in the food processor and add it to the spiced tomato sauce. Season generously, stir, then simmer for 20 minutes. You can make large batches of this sauce and freeze it for later use.
Fry the marinated chicken in vegetable oil and stir continuously. After a few minutes, turn down the heat and add the remaining ½ sliced onion, 1 chopped red pepper and 2 finely chopped red chillies. Stir until the onions and pepper soften.
Add the sauce you prepared earlier to the cooked chicken and simmer for around 10-20 minutes, adding a splash of water if it gets too thick.
Just before you dish it up, stir in 2 tsp garam masala and handful of chopped coriander leaves. Serve with basmati rice or naan bread.
