Place the chicken in a large non-porous bowl. Put the chili, cinnamon,

possible. Rub half the spice mixture into the chicken with half the ginger
and garlic. Set aside for at least one hour. Cook the apricots in the water
until tender. Leave to cool in the pan. Heat a wok. Add the oil and cook
the onion for 7 minutes stirring frequently. Stir in the rest of the ginger
and garlic and cook for a further minute. Remove the onion mixture. Add the
chicken and cook for 3 minutes until lightly cooked. Add the remaining
spice mixture and onion mixture and cook for a further 2 minutes. Stir in
the tomato pure, vinegar, sugar, chic peas and apricots with the cooking
juice. Cook for 15 minutes and serve.
