Preparation
1
Make the Pilau

  • Place a pot over medium-high heat with 300ml water (double for 4p), turmeric and stock powder.
  • Bring to the boil then add the rice.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid. 
  • Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2
Cook the Chicken

  • Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
  • Fry until golden brown on the outside, 5-7 mins.
  • Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.

3
Simmer the Sauce

  • Fry onion until softened, 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Blend cashews and creme fraiche together.
  • Add North Indian spice to the pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Pour in cashew mixture, passata, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and a knob of butter.
  • Cook for 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.

TIP: No blender? No problem! Finely chop the cashews instead!

4
Finish and Serve

  • Taste the curry and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
  • Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • Fluff up the pilau rice with a fork and serve alongside the creamy chicken curry.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of coriander.
