Method

  1. Soak the nuts in 200ml (7fl oz) cold water for 20 minutes. Fry onions with 2 tablespoons of the oil until softened and lightly browned.

  2. Once the nuts are soft, place in a blender with the water, onions, chillies and coriander, and blitz until you have a thick paste. Heat the remaining oil and gently fry the spices, garlic and ginger for a few minutes. Add the nut paste and chicken, mix well and cook for a few minutes.

  3. Add 200ml (7fl oz) water and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Squeeze over the lime juice, serve with pilau rice and scatter over some freshly chopped coriander. It's a good dish to double up and then freeze half.
