Boil a kettle
Chop the chicken thighs in to bite-sized pieces
Dissolve the chicken stock cube[s] in 500ml [800ml] boiled water

Once hot, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-5 min until starting to soften
Add the garlic, ginger, ras el hanout and ground cumin and cook for a further 2 min or until fragrant – this is your onion mix
