  • 1tbsp coconut oil
  • 450g skinless, boned chicken thighs
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 green chilli, thinly sliced
  • 2cm root ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1tsp ground coriander
  • 1tsp ground turmeric
  • 100g flaked almonds
  • 100ml chicken stock
  • 250ml full fat Greek yoghurt
  • Bunch of fresh coriander, chopped

Method

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and brown the chicken pieces.  Transfer them to a plate and set them aside.  Cook the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger in the same pan for 5-7 minutes or until they start to soften.  Add the spices and cook for a further 5 minutes, then add the almonds and the chicken.  Pour in the stock and the yoghurt and stir well.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 40 minutes over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed

Serve with brown basmati rice or cauliflower rice and steamed greens.
