Ingredients:

1 tbsp mint jelly
75ml natural yoghurt
1 small cooking apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1 small banana, peeled and sliced
2 tsp lemon juice
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 large chicken thighs
15g butter
1 tsp oil
1 tsp granulated sugar
150ml boiling water
1 tbsp Seychelles curry paste

Method:

Whisk together the mint jelly and yoghurt and set aside. Toss the apple and banana with the lemon juice in a bowl and set aside.

Remove the chicken skin then cut each thigh in half lengthways and remove the bone. Add the butter and oil to a pan and melt before adding the chicken pieces. Cook, turning frequently, until golden brown all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to keep warm.

Add the onions and garlic to the pan and sprinkle the sugar over the top. Cook gently until soft and pale gold then stir the stock and chilli paste into the pan, season and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan along with the fruit. Return to a boil, reduce to a gentle simmer then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Take off the heat then whisk in the yoghurt mixture.

Serve immediately on a bed of rice.
