Handsfree Chicken Curry

The kids were fractious and there was a big pile of laundry making dirty eyes at me... What I needed was a dish that required very little attention while it cooked. So, I decided to chuck a curry in the oven one to see if I could multitask whilst it cooked, et voila! The handsfree curry was born!
