Cut the chicken into small bite-size chunks and thinly slice the onions. Crush the garlic together with the salt, pepper, ginger and cloves into a paste. Next, dice the tomatoes. Heat a pan over a medium heat, add the chicken pieces and brown them lightly. Then, add the thinly sliced onions and sear for a further 3 minutes. Add the crushed condiments and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Next, stir the tomatoes and “massalé” in with the other ingredients. Once the tomatoes are cooked through, pour some water over them and simmer over a low heat. After 10 minutes, add the “calou pile” leaves. Cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving.
