Hi guys

I must confess that I found this recipe on the net

tbs = tablespoon; tsp = teaspoon

Ingredients

2 tbs oil
50g onion
1 tsp ginger (grated)*
1 tsp garlic (crushed)*
1 tsp green chilli (chopped)
1 tbs tomato puree
half tsp chilli powder
half tsp coriander powder
half tsp amchoor (mango) powder
quarter tsp turmeric
quarter tsp garam masala
quarter tsp ginger powder
quarter tsp salt
eighth tsp cumin powder
300ml base sauce
1 portion precooked chicken


* the ginger and garlic to be mixed together with a bit of oil to form a paste

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oil in a wok/heavy pan and fry the onion, stirring regularly, for 2 min
2. Add the ginger and garlic paste, green chilli and cook, stirring, for 30 secs
3. Add the chilli powder, coriander, amchoor, turmeric, garam masala, cumin and ginger powder and stir for 1 min (adding base sauce to prevent drying out)
4. Add the tomato puree and chef spoon of base sauce stirring for 1 min (add more base sauce if required)
5. Add chicken, salt and chef spoon base sauce and cook for 3 min adding more base sauce to get desired consistency.

Being a bit of a chilli freak I never expected it to be hot as the 1 green chilli was to be de-seeded, which I didn't do. But as for the rest I stuck to the recipe. I used Kashmiri chilli powder. Also during the final stage of cooking I added 3 tbs of chick peas which I had in the fridge. I garnished it with fresh tomatoes as I didn't have any fresh coriander. I found this to be a medium dish, but a pleasant one also. Nice and tasty

Why not give it a try?
