- sprinkle the cumin seeds into the pan and stir until they start to pop – which’ll take about 20-40 seconds
- stir in the onion and cook until starting to turn brown
- add all the spices, ginger, tomatoes and garlic and stir well – cook for another couple of minutes
- use a stick blender to gently blend all the mixture together until smooth
- put the pan back over the heat and add the chicken
- bring the whole lot to a simmer and cook for about twenty minutes or so – slosh in some water if it starts to thicken too much
- if you want, slice another onion and quick fry with a little oil in a pan – optional but tasty!
