Half a tbsp Tomato puree
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
Fresh whole chillies, finely chopped

Pinch of methi leaves
1 Desert spoon lemon juice
1 Tsp sugar
Salt to taste
5 or 6 Ladles of curry gravy
Small handful of chopped coriander (include the stalk)
Pre-cooked chicken
Fry the onion and fresh chili in the oil until soft.
Add the chopped garlic, garlic - ginger puree and fry for a few seconds.
Add the tomato puree and fry for a minute or 2.
Add the chilli powder and curry powder cook for a further minute.
Add a couple of ladles of curry gravy and reduce down.
Add the methi leaves.
Add the rest of the gravy, lemon juice and sugar.
Add chicken and allow to simmer until cooked through.
Sprinkle in some chopped coriander and stir in with the salt if needed.
