| 1. Gather your spices together, and peel and chop the ginger. Put the 10 spices -- from the coriander seeds down to the garam masala -- in a mortar and pestle or even in a coffee bean grinder. Mash them together so the cardamom pods burst and the whole thing becomes a mess of spices. | 2. Then heat the oil in a pot, add the onion over fairly high heat, and stir now and then, for a few minutes. Add the spices you mashed or grinded, and stir. You might need to add more oil: spices slurp up oil as they fry. Don't worry, you will be able to skim it off again later. | 3. Stir and fry spices and onion for about 2 minutes. Add the can of chopped tomatoes and stir. The heat should be high enough so everything bubbles together. | 4. Add the chicken pieces, and stir to coat well, keeping heat high until everything is bubbling away. | 5. Turn heat way down until it just simmers, put on a lid, and cook for about 20 minutes. | 6. Sprinkle over the garlic, sugar, lemon juice and salt. | 7. Simmer with lid at a small angle, for about 15 minutes more. | 8. Stir through, taste the sauce, and adjust seasoning to taste. | 9. Please note that it is easy, near the end of cooking, to skim off extra oil/fat with a spoon, as it collects in corners of the pot. On my photos you can see there isn't much oil or fat on the dish. | 10. Serve this with rice. Tonight I served this with green vegetables and what you might call "grits and beans". | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
