Get Frying
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, open the remaining sachets.
Flavour Time

  • Add the Zanzibar style curry powder, tomato puree, chicken stock paste, creme fraiche and water (see pantry) to the chicken.
  • Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins.
  • Stir in the peas and half the mango chutney. Simmer, 1 min.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Dinner's Ready!

  • Drizzle over the remaining mango chutney to finish.

Enjoy!
