Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tbsp rapeseed (canola) oil
2 dried Kashmiri chillies
2 green cardamom pods
1 1/2 tbsp garlic and ginger paste
2 green bird's eye chillies
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp kashmiri chilli powder
1 tbsp mixed powder
70ml (1/4 cup) tomato puree
300ml (1 1/4 cups) base sauce
300g (11oz) pre-cooked chicken
1 tbsp smooth mango chutney or lime pickle
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tbsp fresh coriander (cilantro) to garnish
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the dried Kashmiri chillies and cardamom pods.
  • Move these whole spices around in the oil for about 30 seconds to infuse into the oli and then add the garlic and ginger paste. Fry for a further 30 seconds.
  • Add the green chillies followed by the cumin, coriander, turmeric, chilli powder and mixed powder and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the tomato puree followed bye a ladle full or two of the base sauce. Bring to a simmer and then add the chicken pieces. Only stir if the base sauce is obviously sticking to the pan. As the base sauce cooks, it will caramelise to the side of the pan. Scrape this in for more flavour.
  • Stir in the mango chutney and lime juice. Allow to simmer for a couple of minutes, again only stirring if the sauce is obviously sticking to the pan.
  • To finish, sprinkle the garam masala over the top, garnish with the fresh coriander (cilantro) and season with salt to taste.
