This classic curry was hot stuff on Come Dine With Me Southampton

1. Dry fry the coriander for 30 seconds over a medium heat then add the remaining spices and fry together for a minute or two until all the fragrance is released. Stir in the coconut and cook until lightly toasted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Grind in a pestle and mortar add the garlic and ginger and bash together to make a paste. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5.

2. Heat the oil in a large flame-proof casserole or heavy-based saucepan and gently fry the onions and chillies until softened. Add the chilli, turmeric and spice paste and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring. Gradually add the yogurt, followed by the tomatoes. Simmer very gently for 5 minutes.

3. Stir the chicken into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until beginning to colour. Pour over the hot water and stir in. Cover and cook in the centre of the oven for 1 hour. Remove the lid and add a big squeeze of tomato puree. Stir well, cover and return to the oven for 30 minutes. Serve sprinkled with flaked almonds to serve.
