Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 chicken thighs skinless and boneless
  • 1 large onion or 2 small
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • A thumb size knob of ginger
  • Tin of tomatoes
  • 150 ml coconut cream
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes* *optional
  • 4 sprigs of fresh coriander or a tbsp of dried

Method
 

Make a puree with the onion, garlic and ginger
  1. Peel the onion and garlic, and then pop them into a small blender. Peel the ginger – using a teaspoon is the easiest way and add the piece of ginger to the blender. Blend together until you have a puree.
Brown the chicken
  1. In a large pan add a drizzle of oil and cook the chicken until it is brown on both sides. Remove it from the pan, and set aside for now.
Make the sauce
  1. Add the onion/garlic/ginger mixture to your pan and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes until it’s softened.
  2. Add the tin of tomatoes and bring the pan back to the boil, and then add the chicken again.
  3. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through (add a splash of water or stock if it reduces too much).
  4. Measure the coconut cream into a jug or bowl. Add it to your pan and give it all a stir. Add the coriander.
