  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 10 fresh green chillies
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 5cm/2in piece of fresh root ginger, chopped

  • Put all the ingredients for the spice paste in a blender or food processor, and work to a very fine paste. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onions are golden brown. Stir in the spice paste, reduce the heat and cook for a further 5 minutes.

  • Remove the lid from the pan and continue cooking, uncovered, for a further 5–10 minutes until the chicken is done. Serve hot.
