Healthy Hints

Remember to remove the skin from the chicken to keep the saturated fat down. If you use half the salt, this dish will move from red to amber for salt, helping you to keep an eye on your blood pressure.

Cooking Guide

1. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet.

2. Sauté the onions on medium heat, until they are golden brown (about 5 to 7 mins).

3. Add the tomatoes, ginger, garlic and spices. Stir for about a minute or so to blend the flavors.

4. Add the chicken and cover. Leave to simmer for about twenty minute on a medium-low heat.

5. Garnish with fresh coriander.
