Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
Gently fry the onion over a medium heat for 10 minutes, until softened and turning golden.
Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another 2 minutes.
Turn up the heat and tip in the chicken. Stir fry for 5 minutes.
Stir in the curry paste and let the contents sizzle for 5 minutes while stirring every now and then. Ensure that the aromas are released from the paste. A good sign to look out for is oil being released during cooking.
Pour in the passata and sugar [optional], give it a stir and let it bubble away for 10 minutes.
Pour in the cream and let it bubble for another 2 minutes.
Season to taste, sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately with pilau rice, naan and your favourite chutney. Enjoy!

You can use chicken breast instead of thighs, if you prefer.
For best results, use the highest quality curry paste you can find. I’m a fan of Patak’s Curry Pots . It’s a good idea to read the packaging first to ensure you use the correct amount of paste in relation to the meat and other ingredients. I.e. adjust the quantity of paste as you see fit.
If you would like a lower fat version of this recipe, use plain yogurt instead of double cream.
