Ingredients
For the sauce
To make the sauce, heat the oil in a heavy pan, and fry the onions, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes. Add the chillies and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the spices and stir-fry for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the tomatoes, stock, lemon juice and lemon zest. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Discard the lemon zest.
Heat the oil in a large balti pan or wok, and stir-fry the chicken for 5 minutes until golden. Add the onion and green beans, and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute.
Pour in the sauce and simmer gently for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomatoes and basil, and cook for a further 2 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
