Lovely recipe! The only thing I’d change is to either grind or add less of the coriander seeds as they occasionally tasted a bit bitter.

If everything is starting in a pan on the stove, could you just add a lid and finish it on the stove and not turn the oven on?

Hi Kristine, you absolutely could finish this off on the stove but the texture/consistency of the sauce will just be slightly different (due to the distribution of heat, it will be a thinner, runnier sauce). Enjoy!

It was amazing! My hubby and I loved it. A fave comfy goto dish <3 I have done it with and without fat rendering (skin on and skin off) both tastes delicious.

Very tasty and easy to make. I would suggest leaving the chicken in the oven for another 10 mins as it was only just cooked through when I followed the timings from this recipe.

Probably my favourite Mob recipe! An absolutely delicious combination of herbs and spices that end up as a silky green sauce... Yum!

This is one of my absolute FAVOURITE recipes of all time, ever, all categories. I absolutely hate having yo use the blender, but it’s so worth it for this amazing dish. I’m planning to make some sauce ahead of time to freeze so I can pull it out for quick, hassle free meals! Also, I’ve been using skinless and boneless thighs. I do miss the fat rendering, but it’s still tasty.

I havnt made this yet but would it be possible with a hand blender ? They are so damn easy to clean. Would make it far easier

Hi Jesus. A hand blender would struggle to properly blitz the cashews, coriander, mint and chillies so we do recommend a traditional blender (e.g. jug or bullet). A bit of a fuss to clean but hopefully worth it!

I tried a hand blender and it didn’t really work, left the cashews with a gritty texture. Not smooth like in the video. Which I though was odd because the walnut pomegranate chicken blends fine.
