A mild chicken curry with oodles of flavour. Serve with rice and a spoonful of mango chutney for a delicious mid-week meal. Swap the chicken for prawns if you fancy a change.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Put the chicken, ginger, garlic, chilli powder, coriander, lime juice and half the oil in a bowl. Stir, and set aside. Chop the onion, and seed and chop the chilli.

Step 2

Heat a large shallow pan. Tip in the chicken and marinade and fry for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the onion and chilli for 3-4 minutes until just soft. Add the turmeric and the tomato puree and stir fry for 1 minute. Lower the heat, pour in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chicken and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until cooked. Season and stir in the lemon juice. Serve with rice and a spoonful of mango chutney, if using.
