Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chicken for 5-10 mins until golden. Remove from the pan; set aside.
  2. Add the base mix to the pan and cook for 5 mins. Stir in the korma paste and cook for 2 mins. Stir in the chicken, chickpeas, tomato purée, stock and squash; season. Transfer to the oven and cook for 20 mins. Reduce the oven to gas 4,180°C, fan 160°C and cook for 40 mins until the chicken and squash are tender. Top with the almonds, sultanas and coriander to serve.
