Instructions
MARINATE THE CHICKEN
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, stir in the chicken, cover and leave for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
MAKE THE CURRY
- Heat ghee or rapeseed oil in a pan and sear the chicken pieces, in batches, over high heat until they get a bit of colour and are slightly charred in places. I like to use tongs for this and shake off the marinade before adding to the pan (some marinade will still cling to the chicken).
- Set the chicken aside and clean your pan with a kitchen towel. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add a bit more ghee / oil to the pan. Sauté the shallots until softened, about five minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and butternut squash, add the chicken stock and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the chicken and mango chutney. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the squash is cooked through and tender.
- Add the cream and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
SERVE THE CORONATION CHICKEN CURRY
- Garnish the curry with flaked almonds, chopped coriander and chilli flakes. Serve over rice with flatbreads or naan bread.

Notes
- If you have an extensive spice collection, add a teaspoon each of ground fenugreek and ground cumin in addition to the curry and turmeric.
- A microplane is the best way to finely mince the garlic and ginger.
- I have left out the sultanas as none of us like them – feel free to add some if you like.
- Replace the butternut squash with chickpeas or cauliflower (or both) if you prefer. You can use ready peeled and chopped frozen butternut squash for ease.
