Method:

1. Heat half the sunflower oil in a shallow roasting pan. Add breasts, sprinkle with olive oil, seasoning, bay leaves and garlic, and roast at a high temperature, 200 ºC, for a few minutes. Set the oven temperature before you start working. Remove and cool at room temperature, covered lightly with waxed paper.
2. Heat rest of oil in a pan until hot but not smoking and fry onion until golden. Add spices and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Remove, cool and purée until smooth in a blender or food processor with apricots and fresh mango flesh (or use 200 g canned mango, drained). Add mayonnaise and yoghurt. Check consistency of dressing, then add reserved poaching juice to taste and blend for a second or two.
4. Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon curried mayonnaise over and decorate with almonds and coriander sprigs.
