Ingredients

For the Curry

2 tbsp cooking oil
6 chicken thighs, cut in to 3cm pieces
1 onion, chopped
1-2 Shemin’s Cassia Cinnamon Bark Sticks
2 tsp Shemin’s Garam Masala
100g Shemin’s Curry Paste (Indian, Goan or Massaman)
1 tbsp tomato paste
500ml chicken stock
400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
olive oil
4 large, round and crusty bread rolls
100g thick Greek-style natural yoghurt

For the Tomato & Red Onion Sambal

1 red onion, sliced
1 long green chilli, seeds removed and chopped
2 tomatoes, seeds removed and finely chopped
1/2 bunch coriander leaves, chopped
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp caster sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Season the chicken, then in two batches, cook while turning for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan.
2. Add the second tablespoon of cooking oil. Fry the onion, stirring for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the Cassia Bark and the Cinnamon Sticks and cook for a further 30 seconds.
3. Add 100g Shemin’s Curry Paste and a splash of water, and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
4. Add the tomato paste and cook for a further 1 minute.
5. Return the chicken to the pan and add the stock and chickpeas. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened.
6. Meanwhile, cut the tops off the rolls and hollow out, discard the filling and tops. Brush with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes or until slightly golden, then set aside.
7. For the sambal, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
8. Stir the yogurt through the curry and season, then divide among the bread rolls.
9. Top with sambal and serve.
  
  Tip: If using Shemin’s Goan Curry Paste leave out the Garam Masala and Cinnamon Sticks.
