Step-by-step

1. Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and then rub them over the chicken breasts and set aside. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides and then place in the oven for 6 to 7 minutes.
2. For the masala peanuts: heat a pan and pour in the oil. When it is hot, add the finely chopped red onion and sauté for one minute. Add the chilli powder and peanuts and remove from heat. Cool and set aside.
3. For the sauce: in a dry frying pan, roast all the ingredients except the onions, Marmite and tamarind. Dry roast them in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes or in an oven for 10-15 minutes. Blend to a paste using a food processor, adding as little water as possible.
4. In a separate pan, boil the onions in a cup of water for 15-20 minutes and blitz to make a purée.
5. In a clean pan, heat oil, add the boiled onion purée and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the spice and nut paste, sauté for a few more minutes. Add 200 ml of water and simmer for 5-6 minutes to cook all the spices. Finally, add Marmite, tamarind and correct seasoning.
6. To finish, spoon the sauce onto the centre of the plate placing the cooked chicken breast on top. Sprinkle with masala peanut topping and serve.
