Ingredients

 * 2 1" cubes fresh ginger, peeled & coarsely chopped
 * 4 tbl Water
 * 6 tbl Vegetable oil, *
 * 2 1/2 lb Chicken parts, skinned **
 * 5 Cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
 * 3 cup Fresh coriander (w/o roots & lower stems), very finely chopped (about 200g)
 * 1/2 Fresh, hot green chilli, very finely chopped, up to 1
 * 1/4 tsp Cayenne
 * 2 tsp Ground cumin
 * 1 tsp Ground coriander
 * 1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
 * 1 tsp Salt
 * 2/3 cup Water
 * 2 tbl Lemon juice

Directions

 * 1) * Try 3T oil.
 * 2) ** 6 kip filets; pound thicker part slightly to flatten.
 * 3) [Translation: A kip filet is a skinned, boned, chicken breast half.]
 * 4) Put the giner and 4 tablespoons of the water into the container of an electric blnder.
 * 5) Blend until you have a paste. [Not very paste-like, but still worked.]
 * 6) Heat the oil in a wide, heavy, preferably non-stick pot over a medium-high flame.
 * 7) When hot, put in as many chicken pieces as the pot will hold in a single layer and brown on both sides. Remove the chicken pieces with a slotted spoon and put them in a bowl. Brown all the chicken pieces this way.
 * 8) Put the garlic into the same hot oil. As soon as the pieces turn a medium brown color, turn heat to medium and pour in the paste from the blender.
 * 9) Stir and fry it for a minute. Now add the fresh coriander, green chili, cayenne, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and salt. Stir and cook for a minute. Put in all the chicken pieces as well as any liquid that might have accumulated in the chicken bowl. Also add 2/3 cup water and the lemon juice. [I added this first and stirred before putting in chicken.] Stir and bring to a boil.
 * 10) Cover tightly, turn heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over. Cover again and cook another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is tender. If the sauce is too thin, uncover the pot and boil some of it away over a slightly
 * 11) higher heat.
 * 12) Serving Ideas : Serve with Spiced Basmati Rice.
 * 13) NOTES : Extremely yummy! This is a nice company dish; it's easy and it doesn't need  much attention for the last half hour.
