Method
- Finely slice a quarter of the chilli, then put the rest in a food processor with the ginger, garlic, coriander stalks and one-third of the leaves. Whizz to a rough paste with a splash of water if needed.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, then quickly brown the chicken chunks for 1 min. Stir in the paste for another min, then add the peanut butter, stock and yogurt. When the sauce is gently bubbling, cook for 10 mins until the chicken is just cooked through and sauce thickened. Stir in most of the remaining coriander, then scatter the rest on top with the chilli, if using. Eat with rice or mashed sweet potato.

I cooked this for all the family and used a crunchy peanut butter and a little more chilli, it was lovely and creamy and quite satay like without being to hot. It was very quick and simple to prepare which is great when you have hungry little ones . Both my 1 yr old and my 3 year old loved it and he is usually pretty fusy. I will definitely cook again.
Love this curry!! Quick and easy to make and full of flavour. I stuck to the recipe (except i made a it healthier using low fat greek yoghurt) and was not disappointed. Right amount of kick from the chilli and as a peanut butter lover I loved the nuttiness of it and even though I used low fat Greek yogurt it was really creamy (like a korma). Swap white rice for brown and you've got a healthy, filling, delicious curry in no time.
Also. to add to my comment above - I'm suprised to see that some people are saying it is bland. I found it really tasty so can only assume they had it wrong.. sorry!! I love spicy curries and yes this was very mild, but reading the recipe I knew it would be. I also forgot to say that I added EXTRA peanut butter and still loved it!! Chucked some spinach in at the last minute too. YUM YUM YUM
