In a saucepan, heat oil. As the oil heats up, add all the whole spices and within two minutes, add the onions and saute till they are golden-brown. Add chopped tomatoes and reduce heat to medium and cook till the oil separates from the tomato mixture (“masala”), about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large steel pan (not non-stick), pan fry the chik’n pieces in batches till they are all seared and almost cooked through.

Once the tomato mixture is cooked, add the chik’n pieces and cook for another 10 minutes. Mix in the black salt and serve with naan or rotis.

 

An alternative to chik’n for vegetarians is to saute cauliflower, use less masala as shown below.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
