1

Roughly chop the onion. Transfer to a small food processor, and add 3 tablespoons of water. Process to a slack paste. Put into a small bowl and reserve for use.

2

Put the chopped garlic and ginger into the same food processor and add 4 tbsp water. Process until smooth and spoon into another small bowl.

3

Heat the oil in a wok or pot over medium heat. Combine the INDI Geerah, INDI Garam Masala, INDI Curry Powder, cinnamon and black pepper to the pan.

4

Add the onion paste. Fry until the water evaporates and the onion turns golden. Add the garlic and ginger paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir.

5

Add the tomatoes. Continue cooking on medium heat for about 10 minutes without a lid until the tomatoes reduce and darken.

6

Add the chicken to the pan once the tomatoes have thickened to a paste. Cook for five minutes to coat the chicken in the curry paste and seal in the juices. Pour over the hot chicken stock. Simmer for 8-10 minutes without a lid until the chicken is tender and the masala lightly thickened.

7

Sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve with Roti or fluffy basmati rice.
