Equipment

  • 1 Wok
  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Knife and chopping board

Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken breasts
  • 5 cm Ginger grated
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Red chilli pepper
  • 2 Fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Garam masala
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • 4 Cardamon pods
  • 400 ml Coconut milk
  • 200 ml Chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

Prepare the chicken

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite size pieces, put in a bowl and add 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Add the grated ginger, turmeric, cumin and garam masala powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well – make sure all the chicken pieces are covered. Leave to flavour in a fridge – you can even make it the night before.

Prepare the other ingredients

  • Cut the pepper length-ways, remove the seeds and then cut diagonally into smaller pieces. Peel and dice the onion, crush the garlic, chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and chop the coriander. Also crush the cardamom to release the flavour.

Fry the ingredients

  • Heat oil in a wok and fry the chicken pieces – until they start to turn brown (about 3 to 5 mins)
  • Then add the onion and garlic – and continue to fry until they turn golden. Add the pepper, tomatoes and cardamom pods and cook for 1 to 2 minutes

Finalise

  • Pour in the chicken stock and coconut milk. Add add the cinnamon stick. And cook until it starts turning thick and gooey (about 15 minutes)
  • Turn off the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. And finally add in the chopped coriander and slowly stir until it starts to wilt (about 10 seconds)
