Hey face I was just watching this show Curry trail .....which was quite good and the Chasni looked wicked .....I have looked on line for a recipe ....But the only one i can find is made with ketchup and in the show was made with cream and mango chutney and something else ? Being as its totally a Glasgow thing ....Could u nip down to the local Curry house and get me a recipe for the sauce love Very Happy

The original recipe was made with a can of tomato soup mixed into a normal curry. You could try that, though that was about 40 years ago and I think they've probably improved it by now!

Chicken Chasni, Serves 2

Ingredients:

3 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
5cm/2 in piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp chilli powder
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 125g each, cut into bite-sized pieces

100g mango chutney
100g tomato sauce or ketchup
5-6 fresh mint leaves, washed and chopped
1 tsp lemon juice

Preparation:

Heat the oil in a saucepan or wok over a medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger and fry, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until they are light brown.

Tip in the coriander, turmeric and chilli powder and stir around for one minute. Stir in the chicken pieces and continue frying, stirring for 5 minutes until the chicken changes colour. Add the mango chutney and tomato sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Tip in 200ml of just boiled water and simmer for a further 3-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked. Stir in the mint leaves and lemon juice and serve with plain basmati rice.
