I've made this many times and it hasn't failed me yet.I found the recipe many years ago in a South African magazine.

INGREDIENTS

1 kg chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 small onions, chopped
1 tspn grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tspn ground coriander
1 tspn ground cumin
25g crushed nuts (I use pistachio, walnuts or almonds)
2 tbsn oil
1 cinnamon stick
salt and pepper
1 tbsn lemon juice
1 can coconut milk

Mix onions, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, crushed nuts and a pinch of salt to a paste with a little oil
Mix the chicken well with the paste. Cover and let marinade in the fridge for at least an hour
Fry chicken mixture until chicken starts to change colour
Add coconut milk, cinnamon and salt. Bring to boil, then simmer uncovered until the chicken is tender
Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste
