Chicken Chasni Curry Recipe
The chicken chasni, a British Indian curry that is very much of its time, a dish that combines tomato ketchup, mango chutney and mint sauce, screams of the 80s, and I love all of its retro glory!

Ingredients
- 300 g Chicken Breast 11oz
- ¼-½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried Fenugreek Leaves
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 1 Medium Onion 150g
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 15 g Ginger ½ of a thumb-sized piece
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- ½ teaspoon Ground Coriander
- ½ teaspoon Ground Amchoor
- 1½ tablespoon Kashmiri Chilli Powder
- 200 g Tin Chopped Tomatoes 7oz
- 2 tablespoon Tomato Ketchup
- 2 tablespoon Mango Chutney
- 1 tablespoon Mint Sauce
- 125 ml Water ½ Cup
- 75 ml Double Cream ⅓ Cup
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breast into large chunks. I cut each 150g chicken breast into 6 pieces and place them in a bowl with the fenugreek, turmeric, lime juice and salt and allow them to marinate whilst you prepare the sauce.
- Peel and cut the onion into a 5mm (¼") dice.
- Heat the cooking oil in a 28cm or 11" frying pan or skillet over a medium-low heat and add the onion. Soften for 10 minutes; you are not aiming to add colour, so if the onion begins to brown, reduce the heat a little.
- Peel and roughly chop the garlic.
- Peel and roughly chop the ginger.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the onions when they have softened and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cumin, coriander, amchoor and Kashmiri curry powder and give everything a stir.
- Pour in the water, tinned tomatoes and add the tomato ketchup, mango chutney and mint sauce, and bring everything to a boil.
- Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend to a smooth sauce. This step is optional, but if you want to skip it, then you will need to chop the garlic and ginger much more finely.
- Return the sauce to the pan, add the marinated chicken and cream, give everything a stir, then cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
