This is a classic chicken curry from Burkina Faso that's based on traditional 'Poulet au gingembre', except with the addition of curry powder.

Ingredients:

1 chicken, cut into serving-sized pieces
2 tbsp curry powder
50g fresh ginger, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
300ml coconut milk
4 tbsp oil
2 onions, sliced
4 tomatoes, blanched, peeled and grated
1 red bell pepper, chopped
salt, to taste
4 tbsp parsley, chopped, to garnish

Method:

Place the chicken pieces in a bowl then coat with the oil, salt to taste and the curry powder. Rub the mixture well into the chicken then set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Place a saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining oil and use to fry the chicken pieces for 10 minutes on each side.

Now add the onions, garlic and grated ginger. Stir fry for 5 minutes then add the tomatoes, cover the pan and cook gently for 15 minutes.

Pour in the coconut milk, add the bell pepper pieces then bring to a gentle simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
