Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add the chicken and cook until golden all over. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, cook the onion for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Add just over half the mango chutney to the pan along with the coconut milk and the reserved chicken. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Stir in a little more mango chutney to taste (if needed) and season well. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small pan. Add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds - 1 minute, until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper, then arrange over the curry. Serve with the rice and extra chilli flakes, if you like.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

You can freeze the curry only – once the dish has cooled completely, transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. To re-heat: Loosely cover with foil and bake until dish is thoroughly heated through. Re-heat until piping hot.
