6tsps light soy sauce
2inch piece Fresh root ginger, grated

Wash the chicken and pat dry with kitchen roll. Slash meaty parts 2 or 3 times. Place in a shallow non-metal container. A Ziploc bag could also be used.

Put tomatoes, tomato puree, chilli sauce, sugar, garam masala, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and lime and lemon juices into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Pour mixture over the chicken, cover and leave in a cool place for 2 - 3 hours to allow the chicken to absorb the flavours.

Preheat the oven to 190C 375F or Gas 5. Put the chicken and the sauce in a roasting tin and cook uncovered for 45 - 50 minutes, basting with the sauce 2 or 3 times until the chicken is cooked and tender.

Serve hot, garnished with lime and lemon twists.
