Method

1.    Heat the oil in a large casserole dish (that has a lid) over medium heat, then fry the onion, garlic, and ginger until brown and fragrant, about 10 mins. Stir in the curry paste, turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon, and stir for a few minutes. Add the chicken and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring to color on all sides.

2.    Add the rice, stir well, then stir in the stock, coconut milk, a generous pinch of seasoning, the veg, and raisins. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on and cook for about 25-30 mins until the water has been absorbed, the chicken and rice are cooked through, and the veg is tender. Season to taste. Remove the cardamom and cinnamon stick, then scatter over the almonds and coriander. Serve with yogurt and mango chutney on the side.
