Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tsp ginger, finely chopped
1/4 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tsp ground turmeric
1.3kg whole chicken cut into 6 serving pieces
2 cloves
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
4 green cardamom pods, crushed
225g small mushrooms (your preference)
1 large tomato, finely chopped

Method:

Heat the oil in a wok or pan and use to fry the onions, garlic and ginger for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Now stir-in the chillies and turmeric and fry for 1 minute more before adding 1 tbsp water to form a paste. Bring to a rapid boil and cook for 1 minute before adding the chicken.

Fry for 5 minutes, turning frequently, until the chicken is browned all over. Now add 60ml water along with the cloves, cinnamon, pepper, salt and cardamoms. Stir well to combine then add the mushrooms and tomato. Fry for 1 minute then add 250ml more water.

Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover the pan and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the lid of the pan and bring the mixture back to a boil. Continue cooking briskly until the sauce is thick then serve immediately on a bed of rice.
