Notes

Butter or olive oil?
Instead of the plant butter you can use olive oil. Only reason I use the butter is because it seems to fry the chicken better.
Cashew nuts
The cashew nuts do add a lovely extra texture & flavour to the dish. However they do tend to be expensive and I have not included them in the meal costs
