Method

  1. Put the chicken, ginger, garlic, chilli powder, coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of oil in a bowl. Stir, and set aside. Chop the onion, and seed and chop the chilli.
  2. Heat a large shallow pan. Tip in the chicken and marinade and fry for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the onion and chilli for 3-4 minutes until just soft. Add the turmeric and stir fry for 1 minute. Lower the heat, pour in the cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes, or until cooked. Season and stir in the lemon juice. Serve with rice and naan bread.

    Absolutely delicious, and that was the opinion of my husband and daughter too. It's full of flavour & great with naan bread. Used a chilli & it wasn't too spicy - would add an extra one for hubby & me next time. Used single cream rather than double & it worked fine. May try creme fraiche next time to reduce the naughtiness factor further.

    Lovely flavour. Have made this several times with just slight changes to the ingredients, especially substituting the cream for plain yogurt, and it always turns out a winner
