Coriander chicken recipe - the clever cheat's way!

We really enjoy a good old Ruby here at Reveal Towers. And we love the fact that you can now get really authentic tasting spice kits, with ready blended herbs and spices which takes a lot of the fiddliness out of curry making. One of our faves is this easy-to-make coriander chicken dish from our friends at Spicentice. And yes, it tastes as good as it looks...





Ingredients

4 breast fillets of chicken
1 Spicentice Coriander Chicken spice kit
2 medium onions
3 garlic cloves

1 inch piece of ginger

200ml of tinned tomatoes
1 bunch of fresh coriander
2 tsp lemon juice

5 tbsp cooking oil

1 tsp salt

½ tsp sugar



Preparation


1 Peel and finely chop the onions, garlic, ginger and coriander.

2 Remove the skin from the chicken and cut into bite-size pieces.

3 Mix the chicken with the contents of the marinade Sachet, 1 tsp lemon juice, ½ tsp salt and half the chopped ginger and garlic.
4 Leave to marinate for 30 mins or more.

5 Blend the tomatoes.



Making the curry


1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the contents of Sachet 1 and fry the seeds for a few seconds before adding the onions.

2 As the onion browns, add the remaining garlic and ginger and continue to fry, stirring occasionally.

3 Now add the tomatoes, contents of Sachet 2, 1 tsp lemon juice and ½ tsp each of salt and sugar and simmer for 2 mins.

4 Stir in the marinated chicken and cook with a lid on for 10 mins.

5 Add 150ml water and gently simmer for 15 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in half the chopped coriander.

6 Once cooked, check the seasoning and serve garnished with the rest of the coriander.



Cook's tip: Serve with pilau rice, naan bread, a traditional yogurt and mint raita. Try it with a chilled beer or a glass of Nimbu Pani (lemonade, but it sounds much more fun in Indian!)
