Ingredients: 800g skinless and boneless chicken breasts, free-range or organic

Knob of butter
1/2 x 290g jar of Patak's korma curry paste

Directions:Cut the chicken into approximately 3cm pieces. Peel, halve and finely slice your onions.
Peel and finely chop the ginger.
Put a large casserole-type pan on a high heat and add oil. Stir in the onions and ginger with the butter. Keep stirring it enough, so that it doesn't catch and burn, but turns evenly golden. Cook for around 10 minutes.
Add the korma curry paste, coconut milk, half your cashews, desiccated coconut and sliced chicken breasts (if using). Add a small cup water, pour it into the pan, and stir again. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes with the lid on. Check the curry regularly to make sure it’s not drying out, and add extra water if necessary.
When the chicken is tender and cooked, taste and season with salt and pepper - but please season carefully. Serve with boiled rice, adding a few spoonfuls of natural yoghurt/cream on top of the korma, and sprinkle over the rest of the cashews. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over. |
