Chicken Curry from Pakistan Nazma Lakhani
Healthy Hints
This may be lower in total fat than a traditional recipe but it still gives you unhealthy saturated fats which have been shown to raise bad or LDL blood cholesterol making you more prone to heart disease. Swap rapeseed, canola or corn oil for the ghee and use as little as you can to keep the saturated fats down. And use less salt, especially if you have high blood pressure.

Directions
1. In a large pan, heat the ghee over a medium heat and add the onions. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Add the cumin seeds and stir into the onions for a further minute.
2. Add the tomatoes, garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric, chilli and salt. Continue cooking this over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Stir frequently to prevent it from sticking to the base of the pan.
3. Add the chicken and stir well. Cover and cook over a low heat for 25 minutes or until the chicken is tender. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce a piece of chicken close to the bone - the juices should run clear.
4. Garnish with fresh coriander.
