Heat the oil in a large heavy based pan and add the cinnamon sticks.

After 1- minutes, when they are slightly swollen, add the onions and brown slowly. Then stir in the masala and saute until the oil begins to seperate from it. Add the chicken and saute for about 5 minutes.

Season, then add the tomatoes and apricots, plus any of the soaking water that has not been absorbed. Mix well, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender.
