Method

  1. In a pestle and mortar (or you can use a hand blender), pound together the chillies, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, ginger and garlic with a pinch of salt and a spoonful of water.

  2. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan or wok, then fry the curry leaves for a minute. Now add the fresh paste and stir well, cooking the spices. Stir in the cloves and onions and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes.

  3. Add the chicken and stir well so that it just colours. Add the coconut cream and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. If the sauce evaporates too quickly, turn it down further and add a little more water. Taste for seasoning; it will probably need salt.

  4. To serve, roughly chop the coriander and stir in with the lime juice.
