Ingredients
- 1 Large Knob Butter
- 2 tbs Garam Masala
- 2 Chicken Breasts (Diced)
- 1 Large Onion
- 1 Thumb Sized Piece Ginger
- 3 Cloves Garlic (crushed)
- 2 Chillies (seeds optional)
- 1 Bell Pepper (red or green)
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Coriander
- 1 tsp Paprika Powder
- 2 Cardamom Pods (seeds only - grounded)
- 1 tsp Salt
- Plenty Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tin (400g) Chopped Tomatoes
- A Handful Fresh Coriander Leaves (loosely chopped)
Method
- Melt the butter (or olive oil for a healthy version) in a pan. Add the garam masala and mix. Add the chicken pieces and brown until they are coated in the mixture. Set aside.
- Add some more butter (or oil) then add the onions to soften. Grate the ginger into the pan, add the crushed garlic, chop the chillies and add, and chop the bell pepper into small slices and add. Stir for a few minutes until everything is softened, then add the spices - Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander, Paprika, Ground Cardamom, Salt and Pepper. Stir again for a minute or two. Now add the chicken, and stir for a minute or two again. The veg should all be nicely softened now.
- Now add the tin of tomatoes and cook for at least half an hour, an hour if you can. You need to stir every 5 or 10 minutes as the curry should reduce and go quite thick (that's a typical Bhuna, a thick coating of sauce)
- When the curry's ready add the fresh chopped coriander and stir just before serving.
- Serve with Basmati rice and a naan bread.
