Directions:
1. Finely chop a medium sized onion. Crush 2 cloves of garlic with the side of a knife. Now peel away the skin, and finely chop. Finely chop a green chilli.
2. Take the chicken on a fresh chopping board. Chop into small bite-size pieces. Wash your hands after chopping the meat.
3. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Then add the chopped onion, and fry for 1 minute.
4. Put the chicken in, and continue to fry for 5 to 6 minutes. The chicken will start to cook, and turn entirely white on the outside.
5. Put the garlic and chilli into the pan, and stir. Carry on frying gently over a medium heat, until everything is golden brown, which will take 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring.
6. Put 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander in the pan. Stir well.
7. Add 1 teaspoon of tomato purée, and 1/4 teaspoon of garam masala or curry paste. Here we're using freshly made garam masala.
8. Stir, and fold 2 generous tablespoons of double cream into the mixture.
9. Serve hot with freshly cooked basmati rice, or naan bread.
