- Once complete, put on a baking tray and grill (UK grill = broil) at 210°C (about 410°F) for 25 minutes.
- Fry your chopped onions until golden brown (oil amount not given), then add your chopped tomatoes followed by 3/4 of the can of water. Mix until well incorporated and then add in your spices. Cook for a further 10 minutes on low heat.
- Let the sauce cool down and then blend the sauce until smooth.
- Place the sauce back into the pan followed by the cooked chicken thighs. Mix well. Add in your double cream, butter and finish off with fresh coriander (cilantro). Cook for a further 10 minutes on low heat.
