If you're in a hurry but don't want to compromise on taste, then curries can be the perfect dish to sort you out.

The Awesome Almond Curry is the right mix between a rich nutty flavour and gorgeous spice. It’s completely clean yet feels just a little naughty – perfect for lunch or dinner!

What you'll need:

• 3 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• 1 large white onion, finely sliced
• 2 bell peppers, finely sliced
• 1 thumb size piece of ginger, grated
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 red chili, finely sliced
• 150g button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tbsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tbsp medium curry powder
• 1/2 tbsp garam masala
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 3 heaped tbsp crunchy almond butter
• Coconut oil

Method:

1. In a large wok heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil and sauté the chicken for 4-6 minutes until lightly browned.
2. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add a little more oil to the pan and sauté the onions.
3. After about 1-2 minutes, when the onions have started to become translucent add in the garlic, chili, ginger, turmeric, garma masala and curry powder – mix thoroughly adding a tsp or so of water if necessary.
4. Allow the onions and spices to cook for 2-3 minutes before adding the peppers and mushrooms.
5. Once the peppers have started to soften add the chicken back into the wok followed by the almond butter.
6. Give everything a good stir and add in the coconut milk, stirring again until it has fully combined.
7. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil (you want it to start to bubble slightly around the edges) before reducing the heat and simmering for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is rich and creamy.
8. Serve and enjoy!
