Ingredients
1 kg Chicken pieces, including thighs, drums, wings
2 cloves Garlic
5 cm Fresh ginger, peeled
1 med Onion, peeled and cut into quaters
1 Tbsp Oil
1 large Lemon, or lime, freshly juiced
1 Tbsp Cumin seeds
1 pinch Cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp Tomato paste
½ cup Cream, or yoghurt
Directions
Remove skin from the chicken if you prefer.
Place garlic, ginger and onion in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Add 150ml water to make into a thin puree.
Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan. When hot, add the chicken pieces and brown on both sides. While cooking season with salt.
When the chicken is nicely browned, squeeze over the lemon juice and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Add the cumin seeds, cayenne and tomato paste.
Pour in the garlic, onion and ginger puree, cover the frying pan with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes.
Turn the chicken. Stir in the cream or yoghurt. Add enough water to cover the chicken, cover and continue to cook on a low heat for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Cooking time will depend on the cut of chicken you have used and whether it is on the bone.
Check for seasoning — you may need more salt or cayenne if you like it hot.
Remove from the heat and rest with the lid on for 5-10 minutes. The chicken will keep cooking in this time and will be more tender when you come to eat it.
Serve with rice and steamed seasonal vegetables.

Great for kids, exercise, or general play on ocean or whitewater, or decorate your outdoor living area for a maritime flair.
This single kayak has been sitting outside yet is in good shape overall with some scratches, mainly on the bottom. The top of the kayak has been painted red, the bottom is white (with some discolouration where scratches have occurred). The moulded seat was removed some time ago, but a foam pad is velcroed to the bottom and works well for general use.
Fun fact: The previous owner paddled an impressive 1,060-mile route across Canada, from Hudson Bay to Jasper, Alberta.
Included: well worn but serviceable paddle + trolley for easy transport to the beach.
Weight is 18 kg, 4.2 m long.
Pick-up in Devonport.
