- Heat the oil and butter in a large casserole. Add the chicken pieces and cook over a medium heat for about 3 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned.
- Add the onion, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, tomatoes and seasoning, and heat gently until the tomatoes begin to bubble.
- Lower the heat, cover and simmer very gently for 1 hour, stirring and turning the chicken occasionally, until it is completely cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate and then increase the heat and cook the tomatoes until the sauce is reduced to a thick puree, stirring frequently. Stir in the honey, cook for a minute and then return the chicken to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Dry fry the almonds and sesame seeds or toast under the grill until golden.
