Quick mid week jalfrezi

 I use chicken thighs but breast equally good in this speedy supper ready in about 30 mins

Serves 6

1tbsp olive oil

2 med onions one chopped one sliced 

3 in piece ginger grated 

4 cloves garlic chopped finely

1tbsp tomato puree

1kg chicken thighs or 6 breasts

2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp chilli powder

3 tsp garam masala

2tsp salt

2 tsp light brown sugar

3 peppers (green and red) sliced lengthways 

Tin tomatoes plus 1/2 tin water 

Chopped coriander to serve 

Make rice to serve  (I usually do 2 oz per person)

Method:

Heat oil and saute the onions until starting to colour. Add the garlic and ginger and stir through before adding the chicken until starts to brown - moving gently from time to time. 

Add tomatoe puree and spices then the peppers, amalgamating well and allowing the spices to cook out a bit before adding the tomatoes and water.

Allow to cook gently simmering for 20 mins while you cook the rice. Season to taste, garnish with coriander and enjoy! (Make sure chicken cooked through).
