Serves: 4

Ingredients
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1kg chicken thigh, bone in, skin off
3 green chillies, chopped (seeds optional)
3 onions, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp dried mint, finely crushed
1 tbsp chopped garlic (about 10 cloves)
3 cups boiling water

To Serve:
1 x packet Tilda Coconut Basmati Rice (250g)
½ bunch chopped coriander, to garnish

Method:

1. In a mortar and pestle (or an electric spice grinder), grind mustard seeds and olive oil together to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. Place chicken pieces in a large heavy-based pan over low heat.
3. Sprinkle over mustard paste and mix well. Increase the heat to medium, stirring frequently until the chicken begins to brown.
4. Add remaining ingredients (except for garlic and coriander) and stir for a further 5 mins.
5. Add garlic and 3 cups of boiling water, bringing the full dish to the boil.
6. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is nice and thick. Season with salt to taste.
7. When ready to serve, warm through Tilda Coconut Basmati Rice until fragrant.
   
   Note: If you can’t find chicken thighs with the bone in, ask your butcher to cut a whole chicken into 8 pieces (or have a go doing it yourself). The bone in steams the chicken and makes for a succulent end result.
