Instructions

Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and add the onion. Cook gently for at least 15-20 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Stir in the ground spices. If the pan is too dry add a tablespoon of water, just so they blend into the onions and don't burn.
Stir in the chicken pieces. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally so they brown a little on all sides.
Dice the tomatoes and put them in a jug. Blend them with a hand blender and then pour into the pan.
Stir well. Bring up to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes.
Sprinkle with coriander to serve. You can stir some into the curry if you like too. Serve with rice or Indian breads.
