Cut the chicken breasts into 1cm wide strips and place in a bowl. Add the yogurt, lime juice, garlic, ginger, curry paste and paprika, mixing everything well together. Leave to marinate if you can.

Heat the ghee or oil in a large frying pan, add the onion, red and green peppers and stir-fry over a moderate heat for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened and the juices start to run.

Add the cashew nuts and stir-fry a minute or two more. Remove from the pan and reserve on a plate.

Turn the heat up under the pan and stir-fry the chicken, together with the yogurt mixture, for 4-5 minutes until the meat is well sealed and cooked through. Add the water and mix well, return the vegetables to the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

Serve at once, sprinkled with the spring onion tops.

Serve with basmati rice on the side.
