Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 1.8kg whole fresh chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 brown onions, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1.20 gm salt
  • 20.00 ml mustard seeds
  • 62.50 ml fresh curry leaves
  • 1 x 7cm cinnamon stick, broken in half (see note)
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1-2 fresh red chillies, halved lengthways
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 82.50 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • Steamed white rice, to serve
  • Steamed green round beans, to serve
  • Natural yoghurt, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan or stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken turns light golden brown. Transfer chicken to a large plate.
  • Turn down the heat to medium-low. Toss in the onion and salt, then let them cook for 15-20 minutes until the onion is soft and golden. Introduce the mustard seeds, curry leaves, cinnamon stick, ground coriander, cumin, and turmeric, and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Place the chicken back into the pan along with the chili and stock. Increase the heat to medium and cover, allowing it to come to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook covered for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is incredibly tender. (Check out tips for freezing)
  • Place the chicken in a generously-sized serving dish. Increase heat to medium-high and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Then, drizzle the sauce over the chicken.
  • Dish out the chicken mixture into bowls. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with rice, beans, and yogurt.
