Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Leave chicken in stock till required.
In another pan, heat fat and fry one onion till brown.
Add ground spices and fry for 3-4 minutes.
Add ground nuts and continue frying lightly, adding a little water as and when required.
Add chicken, strained stock, coconut milk and milk and simmer for five minutes.
Add potatoes, green chillies, if used and cook till chicken and potatoes are tender.
Add lime juice and adjust seasoning.
Allow curry to cool and leave for at least 2-3 hours for flavour of spices and nuts to amalgamate and produce an exotic work of art! Serve with white rice and slices of lime.
