Ingredients

  • 1 portion basic curry sauce
  • 2 tbsp groundnut oil

  • 50g ground almonds
  • 100ml double cream

  1. Defrost the curry sauce overnight in the fridge. Heat the groundnut oil in a large saucepan and cook the chicken pieces until golden brown all over.
  2. Stir in the defrosted curry sauce, ground almonds, double cream and 100ml water. Simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce is creamy and thickened.
  3. Divide the curry between 4 bowls, garnish with toasted flaked almonds and serve with naan bread sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander, steamed basmati rice and wilted spinach, if you like.
