INGREDIENTS FOR THE MARINADE

REMAINING INGREDIENTS

  • 800g Vegan Chicken (There are two options click to see Option 1 and Option 2
  • 1 medium brown onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 thumb ginger peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp cracked black pepper. If using ground black pepper start with 1 tsp and add more if required.
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 1 and 1/2 cup water

In some recipes they use 3-4 bay leaves but I wanted to keep it simple, easy, and as less ingredients as possible.

METHOD

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Cut the vegan chicken into 5-6 cm chunks (approx. the size and shape of chicken thighs) and toss the into the marinade, mix well and keep it the fridge for 20-30 min. (if you have time, leave overnight) 
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan or griddle and fry/grill the chicken pieces until cooked and slightly charred. Turn them over to get even char on all sides. Keep aside. Leave the remaining marinade liquid in the bowl to use later.
  • Heat up the remaining oil in heavy bottom wok/large frying pan, add onions and ginger and cook for 3-5 minutes on medium heat or until slightly golden.
  • Add in the marinade liquid, water and pepper, and bring to boil. Turn the heat to medium low and cook for about 25 minutes without lid or until the sauce thickens chutney/jam. Stir occasionally.
  • Mix in the cooked chicken pieces until coated well, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
  • Enjoy with Jasmin rice.
