Chicken Do-Piaza (“Two Onions”)

Ingredients:

2 ½ lbs chicken. (boned thigh is better and juicier) or fillet
2 large onions
4 tbsps cooking oil
1oz butter
1 can chopped tomatoes
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
Handful of coriander leaves, finely chopped, for décor
Curries4u Do-Piaza Spice Pack

Method:

• Cut chicken into bite size pieces.
• In a liquidiser or food processor add 1 large onion and all the spices with a little water if necessary. Blend into a smooth paste.
• Add 4 tbsps of cooking oil into a pan and heat. Add the liquidised ingredients, stir for 4-5 minutes, but do not burn!
• Add one can of chopped tomatoes & the juice of one lemon to the pan to prevent the spices sticking. When you have used up all the tomato juice (in other words the sauce has thickened a little) add the cut chicken and “fry” over a medium heat until the chicken changes colour. Then add 6fl oz of warm water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer with lid on for about 25 mins.
• In another frying pan cut up 1 large onion into rings and fry with 1oz of butter. Cook until lightly browned. Take the chicken off the heat and add the browned onion and butter to it.
• Sprinkle with the chopped coriander leaves.
