00:19 One medium onion Two cloves of garlic
00:24 One green chilli 400g of skinless chicken fillets, which is
00:29 about two breasts Half a teaspoon of ground cumin

00:54 A quarter teaspoon of salt One teaspoon tomato puree
01:00 Thirteen Step 2.
01:02 Prepare Finely chop a medium sized onion
01:06 Handy hint Remember, when preparing ingredients, the
01:11 smaller you chop things, the faster they cook.
01:15 Chop your ingredients really small so they'll be ready in no time.
01:19 Crush two cloves of garlic with the side of a knife.
01:23 Now peel away the skin and finely chop.
01:28 Finely chop a green chilli.
01:30 Unless you want an incredibly hot curry, use the knife to take out as many seeds as you
01:34 can.
01:36 Chilli juices can burn your skin, so when you've finished, wash your hands.
01:42 Take the chicken on a fresh chopping board.
01:45 Chop into small bite-sized pieces.
01:50 Wash your hands after chopping the meat.
01:52 Step 3.
01:53 Fry the onion Heat a frying pan over a medium heat.
01:58 Add three tablespoons of vegetable oil.
02:02 Then add the chopped onion and fry for one minute.
02:06 Step 4.
02:07 Add chicken Put the chicken in and continue to fry for
02:11 five to six minutes.
02:14 The chicken will start to cook and turn entirely white on the outside.
02:18 Step 5.
02:19 Add garlic and chilli Put the garlic and chilli into the pan and
02:24 stir.
02:25 Carry on frying gently over a medium heat until everything is golden brown, which will
02:29 take two to three minutes.
02:32 Keep stirring.
02:34 Step 6.
02:35 Add spices Put a quarter teaspoon of salt, a quarter
02:40 teaspoon of turmeric, half a teaspoon of ground cumin and a quarter teaspoon of ground coriander
02:47 in the pan.
02:50 Stir well.
02:52 Step 7.
02:53 Add more flavour Add one teaspoon of tomato puree and a quarter
02:58 teaspoon of garam masala or curry paste.
03:02 Here we're using freshly made garam masala.
03:05 Stir and fold two generous tablespoons of double cream into the mixture.
03:11 Step 8.
03:12 Check the chicken If you're worried about whether the chicken
03:15 is cooked, take a large piece from the pan and cut it in half.
03:19 It should break easily and be white all the way through, with no trace of pink.
03:25 It should also be piping hot throughout.
03:29 Step 9.
03:30 Serve Serve hot with freshly cooked basmati rice
03:35 or naan bread.
