Method:
- Place the ginger and garlic in a bowl, along with the turmeric, cumin, pepper and yoghurt. Mix together, then add in the chicken pieces and mix again. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 tsp minced ginger, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 4 tbsp natural yogurt, 4 chicken breasts
- Spray 10 squirts of frylight in a large frying pan (or the insert to your slow cooker if you can use it on the hob, like mine). I use this https://geni.us/KScrockpot <–affiliate link), turn the heat to high and add the marinaded chicken. Lightly brown all over (should take about 8-10 minutes) Remove the chicken and place in a bowl.
10 squirts Frylight spray
- Add the onions, red peppers, chopped chillies, the stalks from the coriander (cilantro), cloves, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper and tomato puree to the pan. Cook for 5 mins on a medium heat, stirring regularly, until the onion starts to soften. Turn off the heat, add 4 tbsp of the stock and carefully (cover if needed) whizz into a puree with a hand blender (or transfer to a food processor if you prefer).
2 onions, 2 red peppers, 3 fresh red chillies, ½ a bunch of fresh coriander (cilantro), 3 whole cloves, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp cumin, 2 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 2 tbsp tomato puree (or paste), 240 ml (1 cup) chicken stock
- Add the puree back into the pan, then add the chicken, remaining stock, chopped tomatoes and cardamom. Stir and bring to a simmer, then transfer to your slow cooker.
400 g (14 oz) tin chopped tomatoes, 4 cardamom pods
- Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Alternatively, you can cover and cook on the hob for 1 1/2-2 hours on a low heat, stirring regularly.
- Whilst the Rogan Josh is cooking, make the onion, mint and tomato salad by mixing all of the salad ingredients together in a small bowl.
½ bunch of fresh mint, 10 cherry tomatoes, 1/4 onion, pinch salt, pinch ground black pepper
- Once cooked, serve the Rogan Josh topped with a spoonful of natural yogurt, some torn/chopped fresh mint and the coriander leaves from earlier (the ones you removed the stalks from).
natural yogurt, small bunch fresh mint
- Serve with the onion, mint and tomato salad, plus some boiled rice or even pilau rice if you like.
