I have eaten many stews and curries throughout Africa and each one was so unique and intoxicatingly delicious. This recipe reminds me of a peanut stew I used to eat as a child and loved so much.

I used cashew butter in place of peanut butter, as my son has a mild peanut allergy, but either ingredient makes for a delicious dish. Instead of typical curry spices, I used our Marrakesh Sitar Moroccan Blend which has many similar spices to curry but also an Arabic influence. The result is so amazing! This curry makes the best leftovers, so be sure to save them in the fridge if there happens to be any left.

4. Cook 2-3 more minutes or until garlic begins to brown, add spices and stir to combine.
5. Add chicken, stock and potatoes to the pot and simmer 30 minutes or so or until chicken is tender and potatoes begin to break down and the starch thickens the sauce.
