Instructions
 

  • Firstly gather and prepare all ingredients[mv_schema_meta name="Gather Ingredients"]
  • Season the Chicken strips with salt and black pepper
  • Heat a small glug of oil in the pan and gently fry the Chicken until it just changes colour - remove and set aside
  • In the same pan begin to sweat the onion, garlic and ginger( add a pinch of salt and pepper) until soft - you may need a drizzle more oil
  • Once they are soft pour in the dried spices
  • Cook together on a low heat for around 2 mins stir continuously as you do not want the spices to burn
  • Add the Chicken back in and stir to coat it in the spices
    Pour in the tin of tomatoes, coconut milk, honey and curry leaves
  • Simmer for 20-30 mins, stir every so often and do not let it boil
  • When the sauce is slightly reduced check your seasoning and adjust to your taste (Option to add freshly chopped coriander and Lemon juice at this stage)
  • If you prefer the sauce thicker keep it on the heat and reduce further, if not its ready to go
  • Serve with some steamed rice, poppadoms or naan and garnish with freshly chopped Coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice
