You are however the master of your own spice universe when it comes to this rich, warming Buttermilk Chicken Curry dish: If you want to give it more bite, just increase the amount of curry powder.

The delicious one-pan dish takes about 30 minutes to cook, but is best prepared in advance so the chicken has plenty of time to marinate.

The easy-to-make marinade will ensure juicy, tender, flavour-infused chicken: Just add buttermilk, plain yoghurt, lime juice, coriander leaves and let it work its magic.

The cubed chicken breasts can be replaced with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Serve with plain or basmati rice and warm naan bread to mop up the rich and creamy sauce as this is definitely a “lick-your-plate” dish!
