Directions:
Mix the garlic with the yoghurt and place in a bowl. Cut each chicken joint into two and stir into the yoghurt mixture. Cover, and leave to marinate in a cool place for 2 - 4 hours. It can be refrigerated overnight if preferable. Heat the oil on medium and fry the onions until browned (6 - 8 mins). Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same oil, fry the coriander, pepper, mixed spice and turmeric for 1/4 min then add the chicken pieces with all their marinade. Adjust the heat to medium-high and fry the chicken until no pink shows (5 - 6 mins). Add the cayenne/chilli powder, water, salt and the fried onion slices.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender (about 1/2 hour). Stir in the ground almonds at the last minute. Garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg sprinkled with paprika if liked and Serve with pilau rice.
