6. Add the onion and jeera mix back to the chicken.
7. Add the curry leaves, tomato puree and chicken stock.
8. Cover the pot and simmer slowly for about 30 minutes.
9. Add the coconut cream and fresh cream 10 minutes before serving and leave on a simmer with the lid removed until the cream starts to thicken.
10. Serve with fresh coriander and homemade Rotis.

ROTIS

Ingredients:

●      2 cups of Champagne Valley flour

●      ¼ teaspoon Oryx Desert salt

●      1 cup of hot water (250 ml)

●      1 tablespoon of Sunfoil Platinum oil (15 ml)

Method:

1. In a medium-sized glass bowl, make a well with the flour and salt, then add and incorporate the water and oil and then mix it together until the mixture pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
2. Place the dough on a worktop sprinkled with flour. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic (the dough will bounce back when poked with your finger) for about 10 minutes. Add flour if needed.
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts and roll into balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat.
5. Flatten the individual dough balls with the palm of your hand and use a cake roller to roll each ball into a flat circle.
6. TIP: Turning a side plate upside down on the rolled out roti dough will help to cut the perfect circle.
7. Place the roti in the preheated pan, turn after 1 minute and turn again after 1 minute.
