Method

In a pan over a medium heat, brown the chicken cubes in clarified butter, then remove from the pan. Add the onion and fry until translucent.

Add the ginger, garlic, and ground spices and cook until the mixture becomes fragrant.

Mix the tomato paste with one cup of water and add it, together with the puréed tomato, to the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Return the chicken to the pan and cook until tender.

Place the prawns on top of the chicken and allow to steam – mix into the curry when ready to serve.

Serve with these fresh, homemade rotis.
