Method

​

  • Lets start with the preparation of some fresh garlic and ginger paste. Peel 8 cloves o garlic and 2 thumbs of ginger and work them with pestle and mortar into a fine paste.

  • Next we prepare the spice mix. Add all ingredients from the list including our fresh paste into a bowl and mix them togheter. Don't forget to roast and chrush some of them.

  • Now put a large pan with high sides on high heat and add the vegetable oil.

  • Cut the chicken in large pices and give them into the hot pan. Make sure your chicken is dry to avoid the oil spitting. 

  • Fry the chicken from all sides for about 4 minutes so that it has just changed the colour and gets some slightly brown spots.

  • Take 200g of the youghurt into a small bowl and give it a little mix and then carfully add it to the pan. (And hope that is doesn't split).

  • Cut the tomatoes in half and place them skin side up on the chicken. Put a lid on the pan and let it steam for 10 minutes on medium to high heat.

  • Remove the lid and use some tongs to remove the skin from the tomatoes. This should work super easy, otherwise cook the tomatoes a little bit longer.

  • Chop two green chillies in chunks and add them to the curry and give it all a rough mix, so that the tomatoes fall into pieces and make up the base of the curry sauce.

  • Now add the complete spice mix and the remaining 200g of yoghurt and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Use the last ginger thumb and cut it into fine match sticks.

  • Just before serving, add a handfull of coriander, 4 tbsp of lemon juice and the fenugreek leafs to the curry and give it a mix. Top with some more coriander and the ginger matchsticks and service with Naan bread or rice.
