Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 green, unripe mangoes, peeled and sliced (2 cups)
4 shallots, thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
4 Indian or Thai green chiles, halved lengthwise
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
3 cloves garlic, cut into thin matchsticks
3 Tbsp coconut vinegar or white vinegar
1½ tsp salt
3 cups coconut milk
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1½ tsp black mustard seeds
4 dried red chiles, snapped in half
20 curry leaves
Fried Onions for garnish (optional)
Basmati Rice to serve

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine mangoes, shallots, green chiles, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and salt and mix well. Set aside for 2 hours.
  • In a large saucepan, combine mango mixture and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until mangoes are softened.
  • Have a splash guard and measured spices nearby. Heat oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Immediately reduce heat to medium. (You can test the heat of the oil by dropping in a couple of seeds. The oil is at the correct temperature when the seeds crackle, but do not burn.) Add mustard seeds and temper for a few seconds, until they stop popping. (Cover with the splash guard, if needed.) Add red chiles and curry leaves and cook for 15-20 seconds. Add the tempered spice mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Garnish with fried onions (if using). Serve with rice.
  • Cooks' Note
  • Tempering is a traditional method of extracting optimal flavor from Indian spices, and it is a skill learned with practice! Reducing the heat a little before adding the spices prevents the spices from burning and adding a bitterness to your dish. If they do burn, simply start again with fresh spices.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions , 1 chopped, 1 quartered
2 large ripe mangoes
6 tbsp good-quality korma paste
100g ginger , roughly chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp black onion seed (kalonji or nigella)
400g can light coconut milk
600ml chicken stock
few coriander sprigs, basmati rice, naan bread, mango chutney, lime pickle and our sides (see 'goes well with'), to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken thighs with 1 tsp of the turmeric and some salt. Heat the oil in a big frying pan or wide flameproof casserole, and brown the thighs well on both sides. Remove from the pan. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 mins until softened.
  • Roughly cut all the flesh from one of the mangoes, scraping as much as you can from the stone. Put into a food processor with the korma paste, ginger and quartered onion. Whizz to a paste, then tip into the pan and gently cook until softened.
  • Stir in the remaining turmeric, cumin and onion seeds and turn up the heat for a couple of mins. Return the chicken to the pan. Stir in the coconut milk and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 20 mins.
  • Uncover the pan and cook for another 25-30 mins until the chicken is really tender, adding a few drops of water to keep it saucy.
  • Slice the remaining mango and stir in to heat through while you shred the chicken with two forks. Season and serve scattered with the coriander, with basmati rice, naan bread, chutney, lime pickle and our sides, if you like.
