  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • Coriander leaves, to finish
  • Make the masala paste by grinding all the marinade ingredients in a small food processor, then remove and set aside. Add the ginger and garlic cloves to the food processor to make a paste for the curry, and also remove and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a lidded pan and fry the onion and chilli to soften. Add the masala paste and garlic and ginger paste to the pan and fry for 3 mins. Add the chicken chunks, chilli, turmeric and some salt, then cover and cook for 5 mins. Pour in 125ml water and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through.
