Put a splash of olive oil into a large pot and heat on high until hot. Add the chopped onions and garlic and stir fry until the onion goes translucent, being careful not to burn.

Then add the ginger and keep stir frying. Next, add all the ground spices and keep frying for a couple of minutes. The aroma in the kitchen will be wonderful. Add the chicken and continue to stir fry until all the pieces have browned (about 5 minutes). Then add the tomatoes and mix well.

Cook it for a few minutes, scraping up any of the crusted bits that might be on the bottom. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer it for about an hour, stirring every so often. The sauce will thicken and turn a rich dark red colour.
