Here's how to make it

1
Halve the peppers, remove the seeds, place them with the tomatoes in a large non-stick skillet over high heat and turn them over a few times until lightly blackened all around.

2
Meanwhile, peel and peel the garlic and ginger and chop finely. Mix 2 tablespoons garam masala, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and 2 tablespoons yogurt in a bowl. Deeply carve the chicken breasts 1 cm apart and rub the yogurt marinade into them.

3
Scoop the charred tomatoes and peppers onto a board or bowl and return the pan to the heat. Fry the chicken breast in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.

4
Meanwhile, chop the peppers. Scoop the chicken breasts onto a cutting board and add the tomatoes, peppers and 4 tablespoons of peanut butter to the pan. Pour in 400ml of boiling water and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer briskly for 2 minutes, when the sauce starts to thicken put the chicken breasts back in the pan for another 2 minutes, turn them over a few times until hot and cooked and spoon them onto a board.

5
Remove the pan from the heat, season the sauce and stir in the remaining yogurt. Slice the chicken and serve with the sauce and rice and/or naan bread of your choice.

Tip

1
For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with 4 eggplants. Fry/grill the eggplants, like the chicken, for a total of 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cut into 3cm cubes and serve with the sauce and rice and/or naan bread.
