Method:

1. Melt ghee or butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, add garlic and onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until onions are golden.

2. Stir in curry paste, coriander, and nutmeg, and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until chicken is brown.

3. Add cashews, cream, and coconut milk. Bring to the boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until chicken is tender. To toast the cashews, spread nuts over a cookie sheet and bake at 350F/180C for 5-10 minutes or until lightly and evenly browned. Toss back and forth occasionally with a spoon to ensure even browning. Alternatively, place nuts under a medium broiler and cook, tossing back and forth until toasted.
