coconut milk

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while thighs are more affordable than breasts.

garam masala

💰Cheaper: curry powder

Homemade spice mix can be tailored to taste and is often cheaper.

fresh cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: dried cilantro

Parsley offers a similar flavor profile and is often more accessible.

In a large wok heat up the oil on medium heat until hot.

Add the chopped onions and the diced tomatoes then cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.

Add the garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped green chilli, salt, chilli powder, garam masala and tomato puree then cook the spices for 3-4 minutes.

Add the chicken and mix the spices to fully coat the chicken then cook for a further 10 minutes.

Add the water and cook for a further 20-30 minutes until thickened to your personal preference – the oil will form a thin layer on top of the curry which will indicate that the curry is ready.

Serve immediately and enjoy with chapati or garlic naan!
