Method

  1. Skin the tomatoes by making a small nick in the skin of each and putting them in a bowl. Cover with boiling water for 20 seconds and then drain. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, halve and squeeze out most of the juice and pips and discard. Chop the flesh roughly.
  2. Fry the onion in the vegetable oil over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until it is an even golden brown. Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and stir briefly, add the spices and fry for a couple of minutes or until they start to smell nice and fragrant. Stir again so they don't stick and add some salt and pepper. Add 100ml water and the tomatoes, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken and stir, put a lid on the pan and cook for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. Stir in the yogurt. Once the sauce is bubbling gently squeeze in the juice from half the lime, taste and squeeze in the remaining half if you need to. Sprinkle with coriander leaves.

    I think the receipe is wrong, it seems that the instructions are repeated in different ways. It also mentions ingredients that are not in the list??????

    Are the chicken thighs de-skinned and de-boned or do you put them in whole? The recipe doesn't say and the picture doesn't make this clear. Would love to make this over the weekend.

    The chicken thighs used were boneless and skinless - you can cut them into chunks or leave whole depending on what you prefer.

    Very nice and simple! The way i like it ;) It would be nice to add some veggies to the sauce at the end, like sugar snaps or broccoli.

    I would never put chicken thighs or other pieces in without browning first. Is this necessary? I have always done it and am afraid to risk not doing it!

    I love curry but unfortunately this recipe was missing information. What kind of tomatoes, what size, what kind of chili's? I found that 2 tblspoons of yogart was not enough. I will try this recipe again with yellow tomatoes instead of red as it came out more red that the picture.

    Tried this recipe last week, and made it a day before. Didn't add the yoghurt in until the last minute. Works just as well without the yoghurt. I used boneless chicken thighs and left the skin on.
