To cook:

3 cm piece of ginger chopped
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
pinch of chilli powder
2 tbs tomato puree
25g butter

1. Toast the coriander and cumin seeds seperately and grind to a powder. Mix up with the rest of the marinade. Add chicken and keep in the fridge overnight.

2. When ready to cook chicken, heat oil in a large skillet.

3. Add onion and saute with a pinch of salt for 5 mins before adding garlic and ginger.

4. Then add the spices and fry until their aroma and oils are released.

5. Add the tomato puree and stir for 30 seconds.

6. Add butter and allow it to melt before stirring it through.

7. Remove chicken from marinade piece by piece and cook it for ten mins in the pot. Then add the rest of marinade and cook it through. Be careful not to let the sauce boil as this would split it.
