Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

This was yum - I swapped out the chicken for turkey and added and extra garlic clove but overall just delish! Adding more chilli next time as it didn't have much kick. Superb though.

Too Salty.

And not exactly healthy - greek yoghurt + peanut butter.

If I am going to sin, it must be better than this.

But it does work and its easy enough.

Stuck to recipe but would add far more chilli next time. Also may add finely sliced leek next time as like to have veg in curries. Very nutty as expected but I would hesitate to call this a curry if you follow the recipe as it stands.

A lovely and light curry and really tasty! I will use more peanut butter next time, and I'd like to try it with coriander (didn't have any when I made it!)

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.

The whole family liked this, so definitely a keeper. I used 0%fat Greek yoghurt, and was a bit worried it would curdle, but it was absolutely fine. I used more stock than the recipe said - doesn't really matter as you can always reduce down if you put too much in.

I LOVED it, Rod, who doesn't normally care for peanut butter, really enjoyed it and Bonnie wouldnt stop barking about it. Very nice!

I thought this was lovely! Huge fan of peanut butter! Great flavour. The only thing I would say is it doesn't reheat very well! But will make it again!!

Made this for myself whilst the hubby had a night out hence I halved the quantities. Kept it low Carb and used 2 chicken breasts instead of having some rice on the side. Very tasty and I used low fat Greek yogurt and it didn't curdle:-) Will add some extra chilli next time too.

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.

Made this a few times now, add extra chilli to give it a bit of a kick. Also find it needs a bit more stock to make more sauce, can be a bit thick otherwise. Lovely if you like nuts! Just made it with xmas leftover turkey, yummy

Lovely tasty dinner, but again a goodfood recipe with no vegetables in it? So many recipes with no veg content.

Serve with a salad?

I wont be making this one again. I found it very bland. Not nutty enough, and not enough depth of flavour from the paste. Shame!

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

This was gorgeous!!!! Soo yummy - loved the nuttiness. Halved the recipe as was just cooking for 2 but found I needed to add extra water as the sauce reduced and thickened quite a bit. Will be making this again ASAP!
