Chicken curry with saffron
Method
2. Heat the butter in a large frying pan, and tip in the sliced shallots, ginger, garlic, strip of orange rind and split red chilli. Cover and cook until the shallots have softened - about five minutes. Add the almonds, turmeric and paprika and continue frying for another minute or two.
3. Remove the pan from the heat, cool slightly, and scrape the almond mixture into a liquidizer. Pour in the yogurt, cream and cornflour and blitz everything until quite smooth. Spoon the spiced almond yogurt over the chicken and leave to marinate for an hour or two.
4. Bake the chicken in a moderate oven for around 40 minutes, until tender, and the sauce has thickened. Stir in the saffron and soaking liquid, and scatter with almonds and wisps of gold leaf before serving.
Prep:
15 min, plus one hr soaking for the saffron
