* 5 cm piece of ginger - sliced
* some water as required for blending
- Other ingredients
* 4 tbsp Mustard oil
* I large brown onion, minced
* 1 jar Latasha’s Kitchen Green Coriander Sauce
* 2 tbsp thick pot set Greek yoghurt, lightly whipped with a fork
* 1 tbsp garam masala
* Salt to taste
- Garnish

Method
Marinate chicken pieces, and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Blend the dry roast ingredients in a wet blender and make a smooth paste. Add 1/4 water to help it along.
In the same wok used for dry roasting, add mustard oil and when smoky, add the minced onions, a good pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 minutes until softened.
Now add the blended ingredients, whisked yogurt and after a couple of minutes the marinated chicken and stir until well combined. Add a little water into the blender to get any remainder sauce out. Pour this into the wok along with the Green Coriander Sauce and add the Garam Masala. Cover and cook on low until the oil comes out at the top.
Garnish and enjoy with dahl, rice, rotis and salad or a vegetable side.
