Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken thigh fillet
• 3 tbsp tandoori paste
• 1 tbsp yoghurt
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 kg ripe red tomatoes, diced
• 1 tbsp garlic
• 2 tsp green cardamon powder
• ¼ tsp nutmeg

Directions

1. Combine the tandoori paste and yoghurt. Mix well.
2. Slice and marinade the chicken thigh fillet in tandoori paste for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. In a large Kambrook wok or frypan, set to high and add 2 tablespoons of butter, the diced tomatoes together, garlic, cardamom and nutmeg. Cook tomatoes for 10 min or until they are soft. Remove from heat, allow to cool and puree either in a food processor or through a sieve.
