METHOD

Dry saute the cinnamon stick, cardamon pods, peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and bay leaves for 4 minutes to release their oils and aroma. Grind together and pass through a sieve. If you prefer to use ready powdered versions just use smaller amounts of each. Add the turmeric, garam masala and paprika. Put to one side. Saute the onions gently for about 10 minutes until they're nicely browned. Add the peppers and saute gently for a further 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger purees and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and gently simmer for 30-40 minutes. Let it break down into a sauce. Meanwhile cook the brown rice according to the packet instructions. Once the tomatoes have broken down add the chicken and spice mix. Cook for a further 15 minutes (or until the chicken is cooked through, keep it nice and moist). Serve with the brown rice and finish with a generous handful of chopped coriander and squeeze of lemon. You could also add a little natural yoghurt or coconut milk if you like.
