Instructions

  1. Blend the onions, garlic and ginger into a smooth paste. Wash the chicken and cut it into pieces if needed.
  2. Heat the oil in a large casserole and brown the blended onions for 10 minutes over medium heat, until dark brown.
  3. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and salt, then stir for 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken and sear it for 5 minutes, turning it over.
  5. Add the blended tomatoes and the yoghurt, then cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes.
  6. Add the chillies and garam masala, then continue cooking uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the oil rises to the surface.
  7. Adjust the seasoning and sprinkle with fresh coriander before serving with rice.

Variations and tips

Mild version. Replace the chillies with a red pepper and increase the yoghurt for a creamier sauce.
