Method

  1. 1

    Dry-fry the desiccated coconut, peanuts and dried red chillies in a pan for 3 minutes until toasted and fragrant, then blitz to a coarse paste with a splash of water.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan and cook the chopped onion over medium heat for 10 minutes until deeply golden.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the ground coriander and the toasted coconut paste.

  4. 4

    Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 7 minutes until softened, then add the chicken and 150ml water.

  5. 5

    Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the chopped coriander and serve with rice.
