INGREDIENTS FOR THE CURRY
 2 chicken breast
 1 tin of tomatoes
 1 tin of drained chickpeas
 1 ¼ tbsp tomato puree

2

Fry the onion and carrot in olive oil, when they are beginning to brown add the garlic and ginger and stir.

4

Add a splash of water and then add the chicken. Once the chicken is sealed, add the tin of tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, black pepper, sugar and stock cube. Add a splash of water to loosen the mix a bit so the chicken is mostly covered.
