Heat the remaining coconut oil in the same pan and brown the shallots, then add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add the garam masala and turmeric and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Halve the tomatoes and grate the cut side, discarding the skins. Stir the tomato pulp, tomato paste and coconut water into the curry. Add the browned chicken.
