- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onions, finely sliced
- 440g (14 oz) can chopped tomatoes

Method:-
Wash chicken and pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper. Cut each joint into 4 pieces and put in a large bowl. Add chilli powder, garam masala, ginger and toss well to coat chicken pieces. Cover and leave in a cool place for 2-3 hours, to allow chicken to absorb flavors. In a separate bowl, put apricots and 155 ml (5 fl oz/2/3 cups) water and leave to soak for 2-3 hours.
Heat oil in a large heavy-based pan and add chicken. Fry over a high heat for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Remove from pan and set aside. Add onions to pan and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until soft.
Return chicken to pan with tomatoes and cook, covered, over a low heat for 20 minutes. Drain apricots; add to pan with pan sugar and vinegar. Season with salt. Simmer, covered for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot.
