This is a Pakistani recipe for a spicy curry. My mum made this dish, and I like it
very much. You must try it. This dish is best served with basmati rice, chapattis or
naan bread.
Ingredients
Serves: 6
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, chopped
675g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in half
3 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
3 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons grated fresh root ginger
25g chopped coriander leaves

1. Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions
and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken, and season with
turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Fry gently, scraping the bottom of the pan
frequently and turning the chicken.
2. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, cover the pan, and simmer over
medium heat for 20 minutes. Uncover, and simmer for another 10 minutes to
let the excess liquid evaporate.
