Method
- In a large heavy based pan, heat the oil over a medium high heat and fry the onion for 5-6 mins until golden brown. Add the garlic and ginger, then fry for 1 min more.
- Stir in the ground spices and salt, and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the tinned tomatoes, chicken breast and 400ml water. Cover with a lid, turn the heat down and simmer for 15 mins or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and roughly shred with two forks.
- Blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth. Stir in the cream and butter, then blitz again.
- Add the chicken back to the pan along with the fenugreek leaves and garam masala. Keep warm over a very low heat.
- Preheat the grill to high. Grill one naan until golden and toasted. Turn over and top with the cheese and coriander. Grill until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Top with the remaining naan and grill until golden.
- Serve immediately alongside the soup topped with extra cream, ginger and coriander.
