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.

3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
salt
3/4 inch piece fresh ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 small green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 2/3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup boiling water
1 chicken bouillon cube, dissolved in the above boiling water
4 cardamom pods, bruised
35 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bit-sized pieces

1/2 cup cashew nuts, heaping
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wide saucepan and fry the onions gently, sprinkled with a little salt to stop them burning, until softened and then add the ginger, garlic, chillies, turmeric, cumin, and coriander and cook,stirring, for another minute or so.
  • Stir the coconut milk and prepared chicken stock into the onion spice paste and when everything is incorporated add the cardamon (remove the outside husk) and chicken pieces.
  • Bring the curry back to the boil and then turn down the heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is just about cooked through.
  • Check the seasoning and add the beans, cooking for another 5 minutes or so.
  • While you're waiting for them to cook, toast the cashew nuts in a dry frying pan until colored a little, then tip in the cashew nuts into the chicken mixture, stir in the sour cream and half of the chopped cilantro.
  • Ladle into bowls, sprinkling with more of the cilantro as you go.
