Ingredients 

• 4-5 chicken breast fillets cut into bite sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon crushed ginger
• 3 tablespoons natural yoghurt
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes (I used dried chilli flakes in brine)
• 1/2 a mug/cup of passata tomatoes
• 3-4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• I tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 jug water
• Salt to season

Method

1. In a large skillet, add oil, once oil is heated, add onions, chilli flakes garlic and ginger. Fry slowly until the ginger and garlic have wilted and have fully released their flavours in the oil and the onion is soft and mashy. Add the paprika, black pepper and stir in.
2. Add the passata tomatoes and stir in well until a smooth tomato gravy has been formed. Add the peanut butter and stir in vigorously to about lumps from forming. Add a bit of water, vinegar, soy sauce and continue stirring and season with salt.
3. Stir in the yoghurt, then add the chicken pieces and ensure they are immersed into the sauce.
4. Reduce heat and let the chicken simmer slowly until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Taste for salt and season if needed.
5. When chicken is done, the sauce should be thick ( in a curry consistency) with a red curry like colour.

Serve with freshly cooked rice and fried plantain and a fresh salad of course as sides. Enjoy!
