Preparation steps
1.
For the chicken, mix the oil with the garlic, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, chilli powder, ginger and turmeric to make a paste. Rub the paste into the chicken breasts, place them in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to marinate for at least one hour.
2.
Meanwhile, make the dhal. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion until soft but not brown. Add the garlic, curry powder, turmeric and ginger and cook gently for two minutes, taking care that the spices do not burn.
3.
Add the lentils, tomatoes and salt and enough water to just cover the lentils then bring to a boil and simmer gently until the lentils are tender. You may need to add a little water during cooking.
4.
To finish the chicken, heat the butter in a wide pan and gently cook the onion until soft but not brown. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about three minutes on each side, or until cooked through, then add a splash of water and let it bubble.
5.
Serve with poppadums and a tomato and onion salad.
