Ingredients

Missing something?

  • No chicken? Use mutton or beef (cook longer), or soya chunks.
  • No capsicum? Use extra cabbage or onion.
  • No onion? Use spring onions, or a little onion powder (less depth).
  • No tomato? Use 1 tbsp tomato paste per tomato, or 2 tbsp yogurt for tang.

Method

  1. Heat the oil, add the chicken and ginger-garlic paste and fry on high heat for 5–6 minutes until the chicken turns white.
  2. Add the salt, chilli flakes, chilli powder, turmeric, cumin and coriander and fry for 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, cover and cook on medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the tomatoes are soft.
  4. Stir in the ketchup, vinegar and soy sauce and cook for 2 minutes until the masala is thick.
  5. Turn the heat to high and add the onion, capsicum, tomato squares and green chillies. Toss for 2–3 minutes only, so the vegetables stay crunchy. Sprinkle the black pepper.
