Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized chunks.
  • 2 medium onions finely chopped.
  • 3 garlic cloves crushed or minced.
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger grated.
  • 2 tablespoons of mild or medium curry powder.
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin.
  • 400 g can of chopped tomatoes.
  • 1 tablespoon of tomato purée.
  • 300 ml of chicken stock low salt.
  • 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil or low-calorie spray.
  • A large handful of fresh coriander chopped.
  • Salt and black pepper to taste.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base

  • Heat the oil in your large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook slowly. Stir them often until they are soft and golden brown. This takes about 10 minutes but adds great flavor.

Add Aromatics and Spices

  • Stir in the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Add the ground cumin and a pinch of pepper. Cook for two minutes until the room smells amazing. Do not let the spices burn.

Brown the Chicken

  • Add the chicken chunks to the spicy onion mix. Stir well to coat every piece of meat. Cook for five minutes until the chicken is white on the outside. This seals in the juices.

Create the Sauce

  • Pour in the chopped tomatoes and the chicken stock. Add the tomato purée and stir everything together. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. The sauce will start to look rich and red.

Simmer to Perfection

  • Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The chicken should be tender and fully cooked through.

Final Seasoning and Garnish

  • Take the lid off and check the thickness. If it is too thin, simmer for five more minutes. Taste and add salt if needed. Stir in the fresh coriander right before serving.

Notes

  • Make it Creamy: Add two tablespoons of low-fat Greek yogurt at the very end.
  • Add Vegetables: Throw in some spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrients.
  • Adjust the Heat: Use hot curry powder if you like a spicy kick.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap chicken for chickpeas or cauliflower for a meat-free meal.
  • Let it Rest: The flavors often taste even better the next day.
