CHICKEN AND CASHEW NUT CURRY



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.
