12 chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 tablespoon sunflower oil

2 large ripe mangoes
2 large ripe mangoes
6 tablespoons good quality korma paste

2.  Cut the flesh from one mango and get as much as you can off the stone, then add to a food processor with the korma paste, ginger and quartered onion. Blitz into a paste and then pour into the pan and cook gently.

3. Stir in the turmeric, cumin and onion seed and bring to the boil, then add the chicken thighs to the pan, Stir in the stock and coconut milk and then bring to a gentle simmer and cover and cook for 20 minutes.

4. Uncover the pan and cook for another 30 minutes, until the chicken is really tender. If needed, you can add a few drops of water to keep the sauce consistency.

5. Peel and slice the remaining mango and stir into the pan to heat through, then shred the tender chicken with two forks.

6. Season to taste, then serve scattered with the optional coriander, rice, chutney and naan bread!
