Tamarind Chicken

I had not cooked with tamarind before, looked at lots of recipes and finally came up with my own variation based on others I had seen. This is a winner.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put the chicken in a bowl, add the lime juice, turmeric and black pepper, cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.

* Step 2

Put the chopped onion, oil and mustard seed in a large pan and heat for 1 minute until the onions soften and the mustard seeds pop. Then add the chilli, garlic, ginger and cumin and coriander seed (grind the coriander seed a bit first in a pestle and mortar). Heat for 5 minutes, adding a dash of water if needed, make sure it didn't burn.

* Step 3

Add the chicken, simmer for 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, simmer for further 5 minutes. Add the tamarind, cover and simmer for another 10-15 on low heat. Add water if needed.
