• Divide the mixture appropriately between two pans if serving vegetarians and meat eaters. Chop the chicken into small chunks and stir into one pan. Add the stock, dividing between the pans appropriately, and simmer for 10 mins (if only cooking the veggie version in one pan, use 300ml stock; if dividing between two pans, add 250ml to each). Divide the peas, if necessary, and add, cooking for 3 mins more until the veg are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and stir through the yogurt and ground almonds, if using. Serve sprinkled with the toasted almonds and coriander, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until tender. Mix in ginger and garlic, and continue cooking 1 minute. Mix potatoes, carrots, jalapeno, cashews, and tomato sauce. Season with salt and curry powder. Cook and stir 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Stir peas, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and cream into the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.

• Puree half the onion with the ginger, garlic, and chilies into a fine paste in a food processor.
• Add the ground spices and mix.
• Chop half the nuts to a fine paste with a food processor, set aside.
• Heat the oil and fry the remaining onion (chopped) over medium heat until browned, stirring frequently.
• Add the spice/onion paste and fry until it starts to smell really good (30 seconds or so). Stir in the veggies with longer cooking times such as potatoes and fry for a while.
• Add nuts, nut paste, and other veggies as cooking times dictate.
• Reduce heat to low and add water (or milk to make it even more rich) and yogurt (whole milk yogurt!). Take care not to overcook the yoghurt, as it will separate and degrade.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice.
