Leave it to marinate for around 30-60 minutes. Marinate the chiken slowly for more flavour.

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds start o pop and jump about in the pan, you add the garlic and onion.

Cook the garlic and onion until they are golden brown. Then you add the chicken chunks and any extra paste from the marinade.

Fry over a gentle heat for about 8 minutes. Then you add the coconut milk, increase the heat slightly and bring to a simmer.
