Ingredients
  

  • 1 onion roughly chopped,
  • 0.5-1 red chilli deseeded and roughly chopped,
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed,
  • 2 tbsp mild curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 3 cm ginger peeled and roughly chopped,
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 500 g chicken thighs skinless and boneless, cut into 2-3 cm pieces,
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 150 ml stock (chicken or vegetable)
  • 150 g raisins
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 2 bananas small and not overripe, peeled and cut into half-slices
  • fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Put the onion, chilli, garlic, curry, turmeric and ginger into a food processor or blender and whizz everything together until you get a paste. You may have to add 1 tbsp of olive oil if the paste is too difficult to whizz.
  • In a heavy pan, heat up the olive oil, add the paste and fry it stirring for 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken pieces and fry them for 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring often to coat in the paste and prevent from burning.
  • Add the cinnamon stick, coconut milk and stock, bring everything to boil and cook for approx. 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the raisins and almonds, check the seasoning and add bananas.
  • Serve with rice sprinkled with chopped parsley.
