Step 1

Put onion, garlic, ginger, chillies and nuts in blender container with half the coconut mild and the desiccated coconut. Cover and blend on high for approx. 30 seconds or until smooth. Put blended mixture in a saucepan with the chicken pieces. Wash out blender container with remaining coconut milk and add to pan. Add all remaining ingredients and bring slowly to a boil, stirring. Cook, uncovered, until chicken is tender and gravy thick and almost dry.
