What you will need


● 5 pieces of chicken thighs about 500g

● 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic ginger paste

● 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

● 1 teaspoon curry powder

● 1 teaspoon black pepper

● 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

● 2 tablespoons oil and

● 1 1/2 cup thick tamarind sauce/ extract

● 1 bunch fresh coriander

What to do


▪ Pour all powdered spices; turmeric, curry powder, black pepper, coriander and paprika over the chicken and rub the mixture all over. Add the 1 teaspoon garlic ginger paste and salt, continue to rub and mix well using your hand. Set aside to marinate and infuse flavour for about 2 hours or so.

▪ In a non-stick pan over medium heat, pour 1 tablespoon of the oil and pan-sear the chicken thighs until golden brown (about 3 minutes each side). Once cooked remove and set aside.
In another non-stick pan, add a tablespoon of oil, then add the onion slices. Sauté until soft then add in some coriander leaves. Add some garlic paste, mix well then add the thick tamarind sauce/extract and bring to a boil.

▪ Add the honey and salt, let cook for another 3 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, add the cooked chicken thighs and continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce is completely reduced and it coats the chicken.
 
▪ Sprinkle some coriander leaves and serve hot with ‘pojo’ green gram rice.
