SponsoredOrigin Pinot Grigio Organic
The nation's favourite tipple in an organic bundle. A great value wine, from Italy's ever popular Pinot Grigio grape. This wine is perfectly balanced with juicy pear and peach notes and soft floral aromas
Description
This is an adaption of Achari Murgh that I enjoyed in the distant past. I'm sure my version is still pretty authentic.

First, par boil the potatoes.
In a pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add the fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and nigella seeds. Sauté until they start to pop and crackle for a minute or so. Also add the whole red chillies, stirring to make sure they don’t burn.
Add the sliced onion and cubed par boiled potatoes, fry until light brown in colour and have softened. Add the ginger and garlic paste. Mix well stirring in the tomato puree, turmeric powder and chilli powder. Cook for a couple of minutes till the oil leaves the sides of the pan.
Add the chicken pieces cooking on high heat to make sure the pieces are sealed and coated in the mixtures for several minutes. Add the water and bring the pan to a boil, then simmer covered on a low heat cooking for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring a few times.
At this stage, add the yoghurt and stir, making sure not to let it cook for too long just a couple of minutes. Add salt and lemon juice to taste.
Garnish with coriander.
Serve hot with naan bread.
Chef's Tips
It is fine to use fresh ginger and garlic instead of the paste. And I've made this with fresh chillies too.

Hi Phil - thanks for sorting that out. We are investigating what happened with the ingredients input in the first instance - a technical glitch we suspect. Regards, Team Mydish.
I logged back in to add something but somehow the ingredient list has disappeared. I am actually cooking this dish now so I'll do it later. Phil
