Chicken and Cashew Nut Curry image

This recipe comes from Forever Summer by Nigella Lawson. Serve with a bowlful of basmati rice and some flat bread. I also think you could make most of this ahead, if you do not stir the cashews in until you reheat the chicken curry mixture. I have decreased the water a bit from the original and still wonder if it is has too much liquid.

3 tablespoons peanut oil

  • Stir the coconut milk and prepared chicken stock into the onion spice paste and when everything is incorporated add the cardamon (remove the outside husk) and chicken pieces.
  • Bring the curry back to the boil and then turn down the heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is just about cooked through.
  • Check the seasoning and add the beans, cooking for another 5 minutes or so.
  • While you're waiting for them to cook, toast the cashew nuts in a dry frying pan until colored a little, then tip in the cashew nuts into the chicken mixture, stir in the sour cream and half of the chopped cilantro.
  • Ladle into bowls, sprinkling with more of the cilantro as you go.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great. I used low-fat coconut milk and chicken breast to make it a little healthier, and it was still delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
