Method

First fry the chicken in butter until browned then put to one side.
In the same frying pan with the juices from the chicken, fry the onion and apple for around 5 mins or untill they begin to softened.
Add in the curry paste and curry powder and mix together into a paste - this should take around 5 mins.
Place half of the chicken stock into the onion and apple curry paste then stir in the flour until the sauce thickens to your liking.
Cook for a further 5 mins then transfer the sauce into a large pan with the cooked chicken.
Add in the cayenne pepper, ground ginger, a touch of salt, the mango chutney and the rest of your chicken stock - stir together on a high heat until it starts to bubble then reduce the heat right down and simmer for two hours, stirring every 10 mins or so to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
With about 30 - 40 mins before it's done, put in your frozen peas, then steam some rice and serve immediately.
