I haven’t been feeling well lately and so I haven’t done much creative cooking and tasting. But yes, we got to eat sometimes and so, I’ve got to cook sometimes too. So I tried another easy recipe..

Recipe from “30-Minute Indian” by Sunil Vijayakar

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (I use sunflower oil)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp onion seeds (left out; I didn’t have this)
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1/2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp grated fresh shoot ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 200 ml chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 250g chicken thighs, skinned, boned , cut into bite-sized pcs

I would use fresh red chillies ground into a paste instead of chilli powder next time.. I think that would make it even yummier.. 🙂
