Fairly spicy dish cooked fresh green chillies, can be cooked with ready cooked chicken tikka which is even more delicious and authentic (go to Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi recipe).
1st stage (stock)
1. Cut 1 onion into 1/4 s, cut 3 tomatoes
into 1/4 s, chop the green pepper, ginger (pealed), 1 garlic
clove, green chilli and a little coriander.
2. Put the above in a small sauce pan together with 4 tbsp
oil, 1/2 tsp turmeric, salt and cup of warm water (around
200-250 ml) covered with lid.
3. Gently boil the vegetables until soft (approximately 15-20
mins) stirring occasionally. When cooked place in a blender to make into a puree.
Final stage
1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil (moderate heat) in a medium sized sauce pan.
2. Add 2 crushed garlic cloves, cardamom and the bay leaves and slowly fry until the garlic is golden.

3. Add the rest of the onion (finely sliced) and the rest of the tomatoes (chopped) with some salt and cook to soften (stirring regularly).
4. Add the Mr Hudas Universal Curry Paste, and the chilli powder and cook for 1-2 mins (stirring
continuously).
5. Add the chicken and the stock with some warm water (100-
125 ml) and bring to boil and then leave to gently simmer for
15-20 minutes.
6. Add the the rest of the green chillies (sliced in halves) and cook for further 5 mins or until the required texture(add more water if
you prefer more sauce or cook on higher heat slightly longer
with lid semi opened for thicker sauce).
7. Once cooking is nearly over add some chopped coriander
and leave the curry to settle for 10-15 mins and remove any excess
oil before serving.
Tips: If you wish to make the dish spicier simply add extra
chilli powder when adding the curry paste.
3 teaspoons of chilli powder = Madras strength
5 teaspoons of chilli powder = Vindaloo strength
