Ingredients

  • 50 ml oil
  • 600 g chicken
  • 200 g chickpeas Canned
  • 1 Large onion
  • 200 g tomatoes 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 handful Coriander
  • 1 tbsp dried fenugreek

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat Oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the Onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the Garlic Paste and Ginger Paste, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Add the Tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
  5. 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.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons of water (or liquid from the canned tomatoes) to prevent sticking and cook the mixture further for 3-4 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. Stir in the Chickpeas, ensuring they are evenly coated in the mixture, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  9. 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.
  10. Finish by adding the chopped Coriander and Dried Fenugreek, stirring well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
