Ingredients
Dust the chicken pieces with flour to coat, shaking off any excess.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a mediumhigh heat. When hot, add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until soft. Add the masala seasoning or paste, tomatoes, coconut milk and chilli and season to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for 15 minutes. Return to a simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Serve hot with fluffy white rice.
Gave this recipe a try and I loved it. Instead of rice I served it with the Woolworths freshly baked Ciabatta.
