Method

Method:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Serve with the onion, mint and tomato salad, plus some boiled rice or even pilau rice if you like.
    boiled rice (or cauliflower rice)
