Instructions

Step 1

Place chopped chicken in a large bowl, add spices, yogurt and season well. Leave to marinade for at least 30 mins but overnight if you can.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pan, add marinated chicken, cook until just cooked and remove.

Step 3

Add butter and melt over a low heat so it doesn't burn, add onion and cook over a low heat for 5-7 mins until softened but not coloured. Mix in ginger & garlic for 1 min.

Step 4

Pour in spices and mix through. Add tomatoes, season and simmer for 15 mins until thickened.

Step 5

Mix through sugar and pour sauce into a large jug and blend with a hand blender for a smooth sauce. This is optional, you can leave as is too if you prefer but I like a smooth sauce for this recipe. Return sauce to the pan if you blend.

Step 6

Pour in cream, mix through, add chicken back in and combine with sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with basmati rice.
