Method

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and toss in the cardamom pods. After a few seconds they will begin to sizzle and give off a lovely nutty whiff. As soon as this happens, stir in the shredded ginger and chopped garlic followed by the diced onions and curry leaves.

2. Fry the onions over a medium heat until golden. Sprinkle in the turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder and half of the ground cardamom. Stir and fry for a further minute before adding the water along with the chopped tomatoes. Cook down until the sauce has thickened slightly.

3. Tip the chicken pieces into the pan, add a dash of water and sprinkle in the remaining cardamom powder. Simmer the chicken curry for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.

4. Serve garnished with a little more cardamom powder and scattered with chopped coriander.
