How to make Jamie Oliver’s chicken and butternut squash curry
Ingredients (serves four)
- Two skinless chicken breasts
- Two onions
- 600g of butternut squash
- 50g of ground almonds
- 500ml of chicken stock
- Two heaped tablespoons of korma paste
- Two tablespoons of natural yoghurt
- One tin (400g) of chickpeas
- One bunch of fresh coriander (30g)
- Mango chutney
- Vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
Wash the 600g of butternut squash and peel the onions, then chop them into one-centimetre chunks. Pick the leaves from the coriander and finely chop up the stocks.
Pour one tablespoon of oil into a large casserole pan, then add the squash, onion and coriander stalks. Cook for 15 minutes, making sure to stir regularly.
Add two heaped tablespoons of korma paste and cook everything for five more minutes or until the vegetables have begun to soften.
Slive the chicken breasts into three-centimetre pieces and add to the pan along with the 50g of ground almonds. Make sure to keep stirring the mixture so everything is fully coated.
Pour the 500ml of chicken stock and the one tin of chickpeas (including the juices) into the pan. Cook for eight more minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Stir in most of the reserved coriander leaves and add one tablespoon of mango chutney, then season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Add two tablespoons of natural yoghurt to the pan, give it a good mix, then scatter over the remaining coriander leaves.
Your tasty curry is now ready to serve with some rice or nann bread with an extra spoonful of mango chutney.
