This recipe’s environmental sustainability level is: Good.
To eat sustainably at each meal, our advice is to keep within 1000 grams of CO2 equivalence (carbon footprint) and 1000 litres of virtual water (water footprint). Remember that animal protein (meat, cheese, fish and eggs) have a greater impact than grains, beans, pulses and vegetables. Vegetable sides generally have a low environmental impact, equivalent to around 100 grams of CO2, including dressing.
Method
Heat oil in a large pan and add the cloves and cardamom pods. When the spices start to sizzle, add the onion and fry until brown.
Add the garlic, ginger, chillies, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, salt, sugar, and lime juice and stir to form a paste.
Add the chopped tomatoes and mix well so all the paste mixes into the tomatoes. Add chicken stock and allow the whole mixture to simmer for 15 mins.
Add the chicken to the gravy base and half of the chopped coriander and cook on a medium heat for 1 hour.
Add the remainder of the coriander and stir it in, then remove from the heat and serve.
Nutritional Advice
Spices like cardamom and coriander help to flavour a dish, reducing the need for salt.
Environmental Advice
Reduce your consumption of meat, especially red and processed meat.
Poultry are lower impact protein sources than red meat. To increase the sustainability of the dish, opt for organic or pasture-raised chicken whenever possible.
