Ingredients

2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons coriander
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon mango powder (optional)
1 teaspoon chilli powder, or to taste (optional)
1 pinch of red food coloring (optional)
Juice of a lime
10 ounces fat free Greek yogurt
Salt, to taste
1 1/2 pound chicken, diced
3 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped or to taste
1 large onion, chopped very finely
Low Sodium chicken stock or water
Light vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Combine the spices to form a curry powder and mix with marinade lime juice, yogurt and salt.
Remove all excess skin and fat from the chicken and immerse in marinade; leave in the fridge for 24 hours.
Heat oil in a frying pan or wok until very hot. Stir fry chicken vigorously for about 5 minutes. You may need to do it in 2 batches, depending on the size of your pan. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Fry onion and garlic until just browning and return chicken with any remaining marinade, plus stock, plus more spices if you think the sauce needs it; an extra teaspoon of cummin and coriander may lift it a little.
Simmer until chicken is cooked and sauce is nice and thick. Serve with brown or basmati rice.
