Curry is the perfect solution when you are looking for something a bit hardier than soup and are also wanting to fill your kitchen with the delightful aromas of Indian cuisine.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1 star anise

• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 14 grams ginger – fresh peeled and grated

Directions To Follow:

1. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot and then add the chicken in a single layer. Let the chicken brown on one side before flipping and browning the other side. When the chicken has browned, transfer it to a bowl and set aside.

3. Add the star anise, cumin seeds, nigella seeds and cloves to the pan and fry the spices until they start to pop. Be careful not to burn the spices.

5. Add the onion, green and red bell peppers and tomatoes and stir-fry until most of the liquid from the tomatoes has evaporated.

7. Garnish with cilantro and serve with naan or rice.
