Combine all main ingredients and spices in a large casserole pot.

Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan) / Gas mark 4 for 30 minutes.

Remove the chicken pieces and set aside.

Place the pot with the vegetables on the hob over medium heat.

Stir in the flour until combined.

Add ground almonds and mix well.

Stir in the curry powder, then pour in the chicken stock and cream.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Use a stick blender to blend the sauce until smooth.

Return the chicken to the sauce and heat through.

Add the star anise and bay leaves.

Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. The sauce will deepen in colour and flavour the longer it cooks.
