Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and whole green chillies. Fry, stirring continuously, for 8 minutes until the onions are golden brown.
-
Step 2.
Add the cubed chicken breast to the pan and stir to combine with the onion mixture. Sprinkle in the garam masala, ground cumin, chilli powder, and ground turmeric. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes to seal the chicken and coat it evenly with the spices.
-
Step 3.
Pour in the canned chopped tomatoes, salt, sugar, and 400ml (14fl oz) of boiling water. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add the thickly sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender. Serve the curry hot, garnished with fresh chopped coriander, alongside cooked rice or flatbreads.
