Cooking instructions

Cooking Mode turns the method into large, slide-by-slide instructions with timers, read-aloud, screen-awake and optional voice controls.

  1. 1

    Prepare the chicken

    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season separately with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sauté the aromatics

    Heat cooking oil in a large pan. Add onion and cook until soft, then add garlic, ginger, curry leaves and sliced chilli. Sauté briefly until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the spices

    Stir in ground coriander, ground cumin, chilli powder, turmeric, fennel seeds and mustard seeds. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring, until aromatic.

  4. 4

    Brown the chicken

    Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring regularly, until sealed and lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Simmer in tamarind sauce

    Add tamarind paste, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Finish & serve

    Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with fresh coriander, extra curry leaves and sliced chilli, then serve hot with jasmine rice and lime wedges.
