1 star anise
2 cardamon seeds
2 large onions, peeled & finely diced
1 tsp green curry paste

Method

For the Chicken Curry Marinade
In a large bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients together well.

For the Curry
Cut the chicken fillets into bite size pieces.
Mix the chicken pieces into the marinade well and leave for 10 mins.

Heat the oil over a high heat in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the star anise & cardamon seeds and cook for 1 min,  Add the diced onions and stir-fry until soft & golden.

Add the green curry paste, paprika paste, tomato paste, chillies according to taste (refer to the Chilli Hotness Guide), garlic, ginger, cinnamon, garam masala, salt and the marinated chicken pieces (with the marinade).  Fry uncovered for 10 mins while turning occasionally to prevent burning.

Stir in the water, bring to a boil, reduce to a low heat & simmer uncovered for 10 mins.

Stir in the coconut cream, sprinkle in the almonds & coriander powder, bring to a boil, reduce to a low heat and simmer for 5 mins.

To serve, remove the star anise & cardamon seeds and garnish with the chopped coriander leaves, almonds & ground black pepper.

Tip

Prepare this dish well in advance (without the garnish) to enhance the flavours; simply re-heat & garnish to serve.
