Ingredients
- 50 ml neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 600 g chicken
- 200 g chickpeas Canned
- 1 Large onion
- 200 g tomato Canned
- 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 fenugreek dried
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.
