Dhania Chicken (coriander/cilantro chicken) Recipe
This is a really subtle chicken dish that is full of coriander flavour that I found posted in seriouseats.com It states as a Kenyan dish adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's "Curries to Kebabs".

Directions
- Blend the ginger, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water in a blender until smooth.
- Marinade the chicken with the above mixture and set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Add the tomato, coriander, chilies, tomato paste, the rest of the salt, and water to the blender, and puree until smooth.
- Pour the oil into a large non-stick pot over high heat. Add the chicken and the marinade to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned.
- Then pour in the tomato mixture. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the fat separates from the sauce.
- Finally add the yogurt and stir well and cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
