- Method: Frying
- Cuisine: Middle East,Mediterranean
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g chicken breasts/thighs
- 400g canned chopped tomatoes
- 3 pcs onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp ground fresh ginger
- 5 tbsp butter
- 150 ml cream
Seasonings
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 pinch cayanne pepper
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- Some fresh coriander
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
Preparation:
- Cut chicken into about 2 cm cubes, add salt, pepper and 1 tsp turmeric. Then mix and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Cut up onions to small squares, but not too fine to keep them juicy.
- Smash/grind garlic and fresh ginger, mix into the cut onion.
- Mix the rest of the seasonings in a cup.
Frying:
- Bring a pan with 1 tbsp of butter to high heat, then add seasoned chicken and rapidly fry.
- After the surface of the chicken is fried nicely, take the meat out and store for later. (It doesn’t have to be done through; you will cook it some more with the rest.)
- Add 2 tbsp of butter to the pan and throw in the onion mix. Fry a bit, then add the seasoning mix and fry for a bit longer (but try not to burn the seasoning).
- When the onion is clear, add canned chopped tomatoes to the pan and bring to boil.
- Add back the fried chicken pieces, pour in the cream and cook for 20 minutes.
- Just before serving, turn off the heater, add the last 2 tbsp of butter and mix.
- Server with plain rice or naan bread, top off with fresh coriander and a bit of cream.
