INSTRUCTIONS
Put the chicken in a mixing bowl and add the lemon juice and salt. Mix
thoroughly, cover the bowl and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Put the
onion and red chillies with 2-3tbsp of water in a blender or food
processor and make a puree.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the red onions
until they soften (5-6 minutes). Stir frequently to ensure even
cooking. Add the pureed ingredients, ginger and garlic and fry for
4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the coriander, cumin and turmeric, stir and fry for 30 seconds
and add the tomatoes. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes and add the chicken.
Increase to high and stir-fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, or until
it loses its pink colour.
Add the tomato puree, cassia or cinnamon, cardamom and cloves.
Stir-fry for 30 seconds and add the water. Bring to the boil, reduce
heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes stirring
occasionally.
Remove the lid and increase heat to medium. Add the mint, fresh
chillies and coriander leaves. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, remove from
the heat and serve.
