In a large pan, roast the cumin seeds gently for 30-45 seconds. Add the oil or ghee, and when melted, add the onions. Cook on a medium heat until the onions are softened. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chillis. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the spices and rock salt. Stir well, coating the meat in the spices. Add the tin of tomatoes, and the water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add more water if the mixture seems too dry. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, add the rice to a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil (or follow the Cauli Rice recipe if using).
Simmer gently until cooked and drain well. Serve the curry on a bed of rice and garnish with coriander.
