This is a classic tomato-based curry attributed to Mumbai (Bombay in India). The image shows the basic curry, though it's often served with two hard boiled egg halves per serving.
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, skinned and cubed
250g onion (1 large or two small), peeled and sliced
500g tomatoes, sliced
3 garlic cloves (crushed and chopped)
30g ginger (chopped)
120g ghee or unsalted butter
For the Whole Spices:
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
2 black cardamom pods, crushed
3 cloves
1 x 5cm length of cinnamon stick
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
2 tsp tomato purée
2 fresh green chillies, sliced
1 tbsp garam masala
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced, to garnish
Method:
Place a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the butter and once foaming use to fry the onions, garlic, ginger and half the tomatoes, with the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon stick. When soft and golden brown (about 6 minutes) add salt, fenugreek seeds, turmeric, chilli powder and tomato purée.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for several minutes more, stirring constantly.
Now add the cubed chicken, stir and increase the heat to medium. Pour in just enough water to make a thick gravy, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the lid and sprinkle over garam masala and sliced chillies. Add the remaining sliced tomatoes and stir to combine.
Take off the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a warmed serving bow. Place the halved hard-boiled eggs on top as a garnish, spooning some of the curry sauce over them*.
Serve with Basmati Rice.
