Preparation Steps
Add the diced chicken to a bowl and sprinkle over the marinade spices. Stir until the chicken is completely coated. Cover with cling film and pop in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Spray a large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and brown the chicken until sealed on all sides.
Add the onions to the pan and continue to fry for 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the peppers and chilli and fry for a further 2 minutes.
Once the peppers have begun to soften, add the chopped courgette, garlic, ginger and stir until fully combined.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and the water.
Crumble the stock cube into the pan and sprinkle in the coriander, cumin and garam masala give the pan a good stir.
