Equipment

  • 1 large frying pan
  • 1 food processor

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken thighs
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 onions 1 chopped, 1 quartered
  • 2 ripe mangoes large
  • 6 tbsp Korma paste high-quality
  • 100 g ginger roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp black onion seed kalonji or nigella
  • 400 g light coconut milk canned
  • 600 ml chicken stock
  • 1 bunch coriander fresh, optional
  • 1 portion basmati rice optional, to serve
  • 1 portion naan bread optional, to serve
  • 1 portion mango chutney optional, to serve
  • 1 portion lime pickle optional, to serve

Instructions

  • Prepare Chicken: Toss chicken thighs with 1 tsp turmeric and a pinch of salt. In a large frying pan, heat sunflower oil and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Sauté Onions: In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it softens.
  • Prepare Paste: Remove the flesh from one mango and combine in a food processor with the korma paste, ginger, and quartered onion to create a smooth paste. Cook this paste in the pan until it softens.
  • Add Spices: Stir in the remaining turmeric, ground cumin, and black onion seeds, and cook for a few minutes to release the flavors.
  • Simmer: Return the chicken to the pan, add coconut milk and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover & Cook: After 20 minutes, uncover the pan and continue cooking for an additional 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender, adding water if needed to maintain a saucy consistency.
  • Add Mango: Slice the remaining mango and add it to the pan. Shred the chicken using two forks, allowing the mango to heat through. Season with salt as needed.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander and serve the curry alongside basmati rice, naan bread, mango chutney, and lime pickle if desired.
