Method
Step 1.
Combine onion, ginger, garlic and chillies in a food processor until they are a paste.
Step 2.
Heat coconut oil in a pan and add the onion mix, stir until translucent and add dried spices (excluding the garam masala), adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds to release the fragrance.
Step 3.
Add the diced chicken to the pan, stirring occasionally until brown. Stir in the tinned tomatoes, water and curry leaves, bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes so the sauce reduces, checking occasionally to see that it hasn’t become too dry.
Step 4.
When the sauce has thickened add in the garam masala, lemon juice and coconut milk. Allow to simmer for another 10 minutes. Serve with steamed vegetables or rice and garnish with coriander.
