This simple country style recipe was sent to me by an Indian friend. The use of a pressure cooker cuts the cooking time, so the whole dish is finished in under half an hour. You won't find this food in an Indian restaurant, as it is very authentic. Tastey, serve with plain boiled rice.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

750 g chicken, cubed
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, grated

300 ml water
1 chicken stock cube
150 g lentils, precooked (bottled)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Heat the oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and 2 tsp garam masala. Fry till the onions just start to colour.
