Ingredients:
Serves 2
2 dessert spoons vegetable oil
1 heaped teaspoon of ginger paste
1 heaped teaspoon of garlic paste
2 big pinches fenugreek leaves - dried and crushed
2 tablespoons tomato puree (watch me make it here: bit.ly/BIRTomatoPuree )
2 chicken breasts chopped into 2 inch cubes
450ml onion gravy (Watch me make it here: bit.ly/BIRGravy)
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cumin
2 teaspoons chilli powder
Method:
As always BIR dishes are cooked on high heat and quickly so make sure all your ingredients are prepared BEFORE you get started.
Step 1,
add 2 dessert spoons of vegetable oil to a saucepan and put it on a medium heat. When hot, add in your ginger and garlic paste and stir gently for 30 seconds.
Add 2 pinches of dried and crushed fenugreek leaves, stir into your paste and cook for 30 seconds more.
Step 2,
add your spice mix (coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric, curry powder, chilli powder and garam masala powder) stir breifly and fry the spices for 30 seconds or so before...
adding your tomato puree! this should produce a kind of curry paste when mixed with your previously added ingredients, if you feel like your lacking moisture you can add a splash of HOT water to the pan.
Step 3, follow up the new curry paste mixture with your chicken pieces, stir them into the paste. follow up with 450ml of onion gravy.
And that's about it now! if your chicken is raw let it cook for 20 minutes or so on a medium/high heat and make sure it is fully cooked through by cutting a piece to check the inside. keep in mind you may need to a little splash of water to prevent the sauce thickening too much... unless that's how you like it!
for pre-cooked chicken you only need 7-8 minutes on a medium/high heat for the sauce to thicken slightly and chicken to be warmed thoroughly.
Garnish with fresh coriander or chillies and serve over boiled rice and enjoy!
