Ingredients

Servings

FOR THE MARINADE

  • 8 tbsp natural yoghurt , full fat
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp curry powder medium heat
  • 1 tsp Turmeric ground
  • 2 tsp ginger minced, fresh
  • 2 tsp garlic , minced
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper ground

FOR THE CURRY

  • 1 tbsp ghee or rapeseed oil, more as needed
  • 8 chicken thighs , boneless and skinless, diced
  • 4 shallot or a finely diced onion
  • ½ tsp tomato paste
  • 14 oz butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup chicken stock / chicken broth, 120ml
  • 3 tbsp mango chutney more or less, to taste
  • cup cream or as needed, 80ml

TO SERVE

  • 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped, to garnish, fresh
  • 2 tbsp almonds flaked
  • pinch dried chili flakes

Instructions

MARINATE THE CHICKEN

  1. 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

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the cream and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

SERVE THE CORONATION CHICKEN CURRY

  1. 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.
