- One Chicken

- 1 sprig of thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron (turmeric)

- pepper to taste

Cut the chicken into pieces
Chop onions and tomatoes
Crush together salt, pepper, garlic, ginger
Fry chicken pieces in hot oil
When golden brown add the onions
Stir constantly for one minute
Add the crushed mixture, stir for two minutes

Add tomatoes and thyme, stir for two minutes
Add the saffron (turmeric)

Add water halfway up and lower the heat once it starts boiling
Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes
The sauce should be sufficient as the dish is supposed to be served with some rice (about 80 grams per person).

Enjoy your meal!

NB: Our chef's secret: chop a few spring onions that you add on top of the cooked dish at the end. Besides adding some colour, it will enhance the flavour.
