Preparation

Step 1

1. Cut chicken breasts into 2-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.

2. Mix together coriander, cumin, turmeric, cloves and cayenne in a bowl. Reserve.

3. Heat oil and butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until lightly browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet. Add onion, season with salt and sauté for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn heat to low, add garlic, ginger and reserved spice mixture and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions are very soft.

4. Stir in tomatoes and stock and bring to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until flavours come together. Return chicken and cook, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove lid and cook 5 minutes longer or until chicken is just cooked through. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt.

5. To temper onions, heat oil in a small skillet over high heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring, for 6 minutes or until dark brown and slightly crisp. Add mustard seeds and fry until you hear them pop.

6. Place chicken on a serving dish, top with tempered onions and sprinkle with mint. Alternately, serve with Raita or Tzatziki.
