Method
Heat the oil in a wide, non-stick saucepan over a high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and brown gently for 5–6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for 4–5 minutes until sealed. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion to the pan and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes or until softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, chilli powder, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala and curry powder. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato purée and cook for 8–10 minutes. Stir in the chicken with 200ml/7fl oz water and mix well. Season well with salt, cover and cook gently for 35–40 minutes or until cooked through and the sauce is thick. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the chopped coriander and serve with the pilau rice and yoghurt.
