How to cook
In a large frying pan on a medium heat, add the butter, oil and the diced onion, then fry until sautéed. Stir occasionally for approx 4 minutes.
Add the ginger, garlic, and whole green chilli and stir for a further 1 minute. Keep stirring.
Add the chicken and cook on both sides, stir occasionally until sealed. Or, add all your vegetables (root veg first) and cook for approx 3 minutes. Add the green bell pepper.
Next, 3 tablespoons of our Karahi Curry Blend. Stir in until chicken / veg and peppers are coated and cook for a further 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the tinned tomatoes and a pinch of salt.
Stir in and leave to cook on medium to low heat for approx 20 minutes until the tomatoes have completely dissolved and the chicken is thoroughly cooked, or your vegetables are soft. Note: don't put the lid on the pan otherwise there will be too much moisture.
Stir in the yogurt and cook for the final 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh coriander (optional) and serve with rice and naan bread.

Tip: If the sauce is too thick or dry, add a little water. If the sauce is too thin, add up to a tablespoon of cornflour and stir until it thickens.
