Chicken Jalfrezi Recipe

Fantastic Jalfrezi recipe, goes really well with a nice glass of white wine

Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, chopped
680g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in half
3 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp chilli powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
3 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
25g chopped coriander leaves

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken, and season with turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Fry gently, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently and turning the chicken.

2. Pour in the tin of tomatoes, cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for around 20 minutes. Uncover, and simmer for another 10 minutes to let the excess liquid evaporate.

3 Add the cumin, ground coriander, ginger and fresh coriander, and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the chicken pieces with sauce spooned over the top.
