Coriander Lemon Chicken image

A mild Indian dish with lots of flavor, the original recipe from Madhur Jaffrey calls for chicken parts, if you use those buy a bit more chicken and adjust the cooking time. Found this recipe about 20 years ago and it has become one of our favorites.

Steps:

  • Add the garlic to the same oil, when that starts to brown lower the heat to medium and add the ginger/water mix, fry this for 1 minute Then add: coriander, chili, cayenne, cumin, coriander, turmeric and salt, cook for another minute and mix well.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, with the accumulated juices, add the water and the lemon juice.
  • Stir, bring to the boil, and then cover and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes, depending what chicken meat is used.
  • When cooked and you find the sauce too thin, uncover the pot and reduce the sauce by using some higher heat.
