2 tbsp coconut oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed

400g can chopped tomatoes

Method
Heat a flameproof casserole dish or large frying pan over a medium heat.
Add the oil, followed quickly by the onion and a generous pinch of salt and fry gently for 8-10 mins, or until the onion has turned golden brown and sticky.
Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for a further minute.
Chop the chicken into chunky 3cm pieces, add to the pan and fry for 5 mins.
Add the spice paste and tomatoes, gently stirring it through the chicken.
Add 250ml warm water. Bring to the boil, lower to a simmer and cook on a gentle heat uncovered for 25-30 mins or until rich and slightly reduced.
Stir though the yogurt, coriander and ground almonds, season and serve with warm naan or fluffy basmati rice.
