A smooth tomato base

The silky texture of Mutti Passata coats the chicken evenly and gives the curry a bright tomato character. As it cooks with the spices and stock, the sauce becomes deeper and more aromatic, ready to be rounded out by the richness of coconut milk.

Slow simmer, tender chicken

Cooking the chicken gently allows it to become tender while absorbing the spiced tomato curry sauce. Finished with creamy coconut milk, this is a comforting dish with warmth, depth and a balance of savoury, spicy and slightly sweet flavours.
