Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large casserole dish with a lid. Add the chicken and cook for about 7-10 mins until golden all over, then remove from the pan. Fry the onion with the bay leaves and the spices in the remaining oil for about 5 mins, until soft and golden. Take off the heat and return the chicken to the pan.
  2. Mix the yogurt, coriander, curry paste and sultanas together, pour over the chicken and give it a stir. Cover with the lid and cook in the oven for 30 mins, or until the meat falls easily off the bone. Great served with warm naan bread.

    Lovely tasty curry. Chicken thighs are the best to use to make this very special.

    Very tasty and easy, great midweek dinner. My boys loved it, probably because it was sweet and not spicy. I put in 300ml greek yoghurt and it could have done with a bit more but I did cook it for an hour on a slightly lower heat.

    I have made this for my family and they love it, the mixture of flavours and the sultanas is lovely. Similar to a Korma but creamier. This is best made the day before, stopping at the point where you combine everything together. This gives the meat time to absorbe all the flavours before you finish the cooking.

    I tried this recipe on my very critical fiancee. He loved the flavours but felt it could do with more yoghurt for dipping naan bread in the sauce! Very nice and will make again

    We really enjoyed this recipe. It has a very rich flavour but if that's what you fancy then it's great. Seemed to serve four rather than six for us, maybe we just eat a lot!

    This recipe is a nice one, I found there to be a bit too much cinnamon, I made it again with just one stick of cinnamon and it was much better!

    My family just loves this recipe. To save time I now use chicken thigh fillets cut into pieces and it works well. I have also substituted soya yoghurt in place of the regular yoghurt (as both my children are allergic to dairy) and whilst I still prefer the original recipe, my children really enjoyed the dairy free version.
