3-2-1 Almond Chicken Curry

This is most definitely my favourite curry. Forgive the long list of spices (the dish is actually quite forgiving if you don’t have them all) but the ...incredible blend of aromatics, almond flavour and bittersweet amchur is spectacular.

Super easy. Threw it all in a large pan and cooked it at 140 for nearly 2 hours while we were out. Opening the front door the smell was amazing. Def making again!

Don’t be put off by the long list of ingredients. Easy to prepare and a great flavourful curry.

Very tasty curry. I added 400ml veg stock instead of 800ml water. Omitted the Tamarind paste as didn't have any. Added frozen spinach. Served with 5 grain rice and some stir-fry aubergine, courgette and okra. Delicious 😋

very tasty but I only added half the water and I thought it probably didn’t need that even

Added kasoori methi. Served with yoghurt and small portion of basmati

So good! I made the recipe without curry leaves (not available), without garlic (high fodmap), and tofu instead of chicken. Also added leek to increase the veg. It was super tasty and satisfying. Will make it again!

The recipe doesn't mention salt, and step 6 was a bit confusing. It says "Remove and serve with scattered almonds". I've assumed it meant 'remove the cinnamon stick, star anise and cardemom'?

Easy and really delicious. Lovely with a fresh mango salad.

Very tasty. I love the taste of the kaffir lime leaves in this, and the ground almonds make such a lovely sauce consistency.

Didn’t use the water and hubby enjoyed it as much as his usual takeaway treat thanks again guys

Dr Rupy’s favourite is also mine. I omitted the spinach and made a sweet and spicy okra side dish. Delicious!

Delicious!

This needs more vegetables and the sauce is quite watery.

Stunning curry

Another great recipe - easy to prep and cook. OH was not keen on the cardamon taste so will reduce or leave out next time. Another recipe that you can easily add more veg to if you fancy - might try adding some mange tout or tender stem broccoli 🤔

The flavour was nice but there was a bitter aftertaste - I wonder if from too many curry leaves?
