Blitz until you have a smooth orange sauce.
Step 7.
Pour the sauce into a frying pan and add two bay leaves. Allow the sauce to gently bubble away for a couple of minutes so the bay leaves can infuse.

Serve the chicken on a bed of basmati rice and black beans. Pour your sauce over the top. Enjoy mob, this one is a winner.
