Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I love chicken curry on the bone, but unfortunately you rarely see it in Indian restaurants these days. I remember when I first moved to London, most restaurants offered chicken curry on the bone – the flavour is just so much better.
2 chicken legs, jointed
20g clarified butter or ghee
tsp cumin seeds
1tsp cumin powder
1tsp turmeric
The black seeds from 4 cardamom pods
A pinch of saffron strands
A small 1cm-piece of cinnamon stick
A good pinch of curry leaves
tsp paprika
1 clove
tsp fenugreek seeds
tsp mustard seeds
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
20g root ginger, scraped and grated
1 small chilli, finely chopped
1tsp tomato purée
1ltr chicken stock
To serve
2tbsp chopped coriander
2 servings basmati rice, cooked
Season the chicken pieces. Heat the ghee in a heavy-based pan and fry all of the spices with the onions, garlic, ginger and chilli for a couple of minutes to release the flavours. Put in the chicken and the tomato purée, and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring all the time.
Pour in the stock and simmer gently for 45 minutes. Add the coriander and re-season if necessary. Serve with the rice.
