Ingredients

  • 50 ml Oil
  • 600 g Chicken
  • 200 g Chickpeas Canned
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 200 g Canned Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 handful Coriander
  • 1 tbsp Dried Fenugreek

Instructions

  • Heat Oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the Onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the Garlic Paste and Ginger Paste, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
  • Add the Tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
  • Sprinkle in the Spices (Salt, Coriander Powder, Cumin Powder, Turmeric Powder, and Chilli Powder). Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavor.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of water (or liquid from the canned tomatoes) to prevent sticking and cook the mixture further for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the Chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the color changes and the chicken is lightly seared.
  • Stir in the Chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated in the mixture, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour in enough Water to cover the chicken and chickpeas. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • Finish by adding the chopped Coriander and Dried Fenugreek, stirring well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
