• sprinkle the cumin seeds into the pan and stir until they start to pop – which’ll take about 20-40 seconds
• stir in the onion and cook until starting to turn brown
• add all the spices, ginger, tomatoes and garlic and stir well – cook for another couple of minutes
• use a stick blender to gently blend all the mixture together until smooth
• put the pan back over the heat and add the chicken
