This chicken curry dish from TV3's World Kitchen expels a symphony of exotic flavours and aromas and freshen your tastebuds with a mouth-watering ZING!
Combine the onion, garlic, chilli peppers, cashew nuts, lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, and ginger in an electric blender or food processor or mortar and pestle and blend until it forms a smooth paste.
Heat the oil in a heavy based pot or pan and add the blended spice and nut mixture. Fry this, stirring to prevent sticking, for 4-5 minutes to let the flavours develop and the sugar caramelizes. Add the chicken and cook for a further 15 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and water, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
