Prep time

Ingredients
- Chilli Powder: 1 tsp mild chilli powder
- Coriander: 15g pack fresh coriander, chopped
- Garlic Clove: 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Red Chilli: 1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and sliced
- Onion: 2 medium onions
- Lime: juice of 1 lime
- Sunflower Oil: 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- Ginger: 1 thumb-size piece of fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
- Chicken Stock Cube: 1 chicken stock cube
- Coconut Milk: 400ml can reduced-fat coconut milk
- Ground Turmeric: 1 tsp ground turmeric
- Boneless Skinless Chicken: 1kg pack boneless skinless chicken thighs
Directions
- Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
- Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
- Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.
