I invented this recipe when once stuck for something to cook. It was a case of last minute and so i just started throwing ingredients together, as you do, and, this was the wonderful end result. This tasty, yogurty dish with a strong flavour of ginger makes you almost want to lick the plate......go on, i dare you!

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 8 chicken thighs (or 4 chicken legs)
  • 1 onion (large, chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh root ginger (grated)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons bouillon powder (vegan)
  • 5 tablespoons natural yoghurt
  • 150 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander (or parsley)

Method

  1. Begin by washing your chicken and then heating up a table spoon of olive oil in a large pan that will hold all the chicken. Making sure the oil is hot, add your chicken and fry to give it a lovely golden brown color, but mind not to burn it.
  2. Remove your chicken once it's golden brown to a dish and keep warm.
  3. Next, in the same pan, fry your onion in the remaining olive oil for a good 5 mins to soften and brown them, adding your stock powder and fry for a further 2 mins.
  4. Add your ginger and yogurt and continue to cook over a medium heat until it is all combined. Mix in your water, give it a good stir and then add your chicken and cook for 45 mins or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, turning occasionally.
  5. Nearing the end, add your fresh herbs, whichever you choose. This is perfect served with plain boiled rice or steamed vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus.
  6. Enjoy!
