Method
1
Peel and coarsely chop the ginger, then peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Very finely chop the fresh coriander (without roots and lower stems) and the hot green chilli, setting aside separately.

In a small bowl, combine the cayenne, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and salt to create a spice blend.

Heat the 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

Add the chopped ginger to the hot oil and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.

Add the finely chopped garlic to the pot and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the spice blend to the aromatics and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavours.

Add the skinned chicken parts to the pot and turn to coat all pieces evenly in the spiced oil. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned on the surface.

Pour in the 4 tablespoons of water and the 2/3 cup of water, then stir well to incorporate all the spiced oil into the liquid.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
