Anamika's Chicken Curry

Anamika's Chicken Curry

400 grams chicken, choped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon each ground ginger, cumin and turmeric
1/4 teaspoon each of ground cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and coriander
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed chilli
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 brown onion
2 tablespoons tomato puree/paste
125 gram plain yoghurt

Chop the chicken into small pieces, place it in a bowl, sprinkle over the spices, chilli, garlic and bay leaves, then add about a tablespoon of oil. Give it a good mix, until all of the meat is coated and yellowish, then cover the bowl and leave it for an hour or so.

Dice the onion and heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Cook the onion until it is soft and transparent, then add the marinated chicken and as much of the marinade as you can scrape out of the bowl. Cook the chicken until it is done all the way through, and have a taste of the marinade to make sure that you are happy with it. You can add more of the spices at this point until it is just as you like it.

Finally, add the tomato puree and the yoghurt and continue to cook it until the sauce is thick and creamy. Remove the bay leaves, and serve over rice.
