A delicious curry full of flavor but without the heat.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 onion small or ½ large
- ½ lb chard 225g
- 1 ¾ lb chicken thigh 800g, approx, 4-6 thighs depending on size, boneless
- 1 clove garlic or 2 small
- 1 tablespoon ginger 1in/2.5cm piece, fresh
- ¾ cup coconut milk 175g, divided
- ½ cup cashews 'raw', not roasted or salted
Instructions
- Warm a pan over a medium heat (I use the same pan for all steps, so ensure it's big enough; cast iron is best to dry-fry the spices), without any oil, and add the cumin, coriander and mustard seeds. Cook them until they smell fragrant and start to pop.
- Transfer them to a mortar (or spice mill), add the turmeric and grind until fairly smooth.
- Dice the onions and the stalks from the chard.
- Cook the chard leaves in some boiling water for approx 1-2minutes, until wilted. Remove and drain.
- Heat a little oil in a pan and add the onions. Cook for a couple minutes then add the chard stalks. Cook, stirring now and then, for around 5-8mins until they have softened but are not browning.
- Meanwhile, remove any fat and tough bits from the chicken and dice.
- After the onions and chard are soft, add the chicken and brown. You may need to increase the temperature a little.
- Once lightly browned, add the ground spices and grate in the garlic and ginger. Stir well.
- Add ½ cup of coconut milk and stir.
- Blend together the cashews and the remaining ¼ cup coconut milk then add to the pan.
- Cook on a simmer rather than boiling for around 10 more minutes until the chicken is cooked.
- Squeeze the chard leaves of excess water, cut fairly small then add to the pan and stir through.
- Serve over rice.
