Steps:

• Heat 2 T oil in a large pan or pot. Add the chicken, tomatoes, ginger, cinnamon and saffron or turmeric.

• Set oven at 400 deg F/200 deg Celsius.
• Remove chicken from pot, and roast in oven to brown slightly.
• Meanwhile, cook the sauce in the pot, uncovered, to thicken slightly. It should be like a sizzling cream. Stir all the time.
• Then add the honey and stir in well.
• Remove chicken from the oven, and return chicken to the pot. If the sauce is a nice consistency, turn heat very low so it does not reduce further.
• Heat the leftover 1 T oil in a separate pan and add the almonds. Cook for a few moments only (it burns easily, so stir it) Then add the sesame seeds, and cook briefly as well, until lightly toasted.
• Serve the chicken hot, covered with the sauce and sprinkled with the toasted nuts.
