  • 1 tsp turmeric

Method

Step 1

In a small food processor, whiz together garlic, ginger, chilli and all the spices. Add a little water or vegetable oil to bring the paste together.

Step 2

Heat the oil and butter in a large, lidded casserole dish on the stove, then add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes until soft and golden. Add the 6 tablespoons of the paste then cook for 5 minutes more to cook out the rawness of the spices.

Step 3

Add the chicken and stir well to coat in the paste. Cook for 2 minutes, then tip in the tomatoes, purée and 200ml water. Cover with a lid and gently simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the lid, stir through the mango chutney, cream and yogurt, then gently warm through.

Step 5

Season and scatter with coriander leaves and serve with basmati rice and naan bread or roots.
