METHOD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the marinade<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span>Place 2 cups (500 ml) Nestle Ideal Evaporated\u00a0 Milk with 2 Tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice in a bowl and allow to stand for at least 5 min.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Pur\u00e9e 6 cloves garlic and 1 cm fresh ginger, or crush with a mortar and pestle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add the red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt and lime juice to the milk and lemon mixture and combine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Score the tops of 900 g skinned chicken pieces and marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. To cook, heat 5 Tbsp oil in a large, thick-bottomed skillet and add the chicken pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cover and allow the chicken to cook through on a low heat, turning the chicken pieces to ensure even cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the sauce<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For the sauce, scald 700 g tomatoes in boiling water, and peel off the skin. Squeeze out the pips and mash to a semi-pulp with a fork or a potato masher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cook the tomato pulp in a frying pan for about 5 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add 75 g chilled butter and \u00bc tsp (1.25 ml) paprika; after the butter has melted, let it cook for 1 min only. (NB: Taste the sauce at this point and if it has no sourness, add a few drops of vinegar).<\/span><\/p>\n

Grind the dried curry leaves in a mortar and pestle and crush to a powder. Add to the sauce, with the garam masala powder. Season to taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Combine chicken and sauce and mix well. Cook on a low heat till creamy. Serve with a fragrant rice.<\/span><\/p>\n
