Ingredients

6 chicken legs

4 medium size onions

4 cloves of garlic

6 full spoons of grilled Massala (with or without chilli as per your preference)

4 teaspoons of sugar

600g of tomato or pomme d`amour (I use the latter)

200ml (1 box) of cooking cream (12% Fat)

4 full spoons of Olive oil

1 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper (optional)

10-12 cari poulet leaves

1 bouquet of coriander (cotomili)

Procedure

Step 1: In your frying pan, add your chopped onions, garlic, sugar, a pinch of salt + grounded pepper and an equivalent of 3 full spoons of olive oil

Step 2: While ingredients from step 1 are cooking, prepare your tomatoes or pomme d`amour by washing and cutting them into small slices

Step 3: Then add your sliced tomatoes or pomme d`amour to your onion mixture (from step 1). Allow to soften on low-medium heat.

Step 4: When your tomato or pomme d`amour has become a soft paste together with your onions, get your coriander, cari poulet leaves and cooking cream and add them to the mixture. YES, add them all to the mixture as is, no chopping or whatsoever... You will see why below ...

Step 5 : Also add your grilled Massala. You may add one with or without chilli or both, that is 3 full spoons grilled Massala grilled Massalawith chilli and the remaining 3 without chilli !
