Instructions
Mix the the yoghurt with tomato puree and dry chilli flakes
Heat the oil in large pan over medium high heat, when hot, add all the whole spices and ground fennel seeds. Fry until they pop and become fragrant, this will happen quite quickly, don’t let them burn
Reduce the heat slightly and add the onion. Cook until soft and starting to caramelise
Add the garlic, ginger and 1 tbsp of water and cook until the water has evaporated
Next add the ground spices (apart from the garam masala) and stir for about a minute. I then add another splash of water and cook the mixture until the water has evaporated
Add chicken thighs coat with the spices and allow to brown
Stir in the yoghurt tomato mix along with 200ml of hot water, give it all a good stir and poke the whole green chilli in and simmer for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked
When cooked add lemon juice to taste along with garam masala
