    4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly roasted
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
    14 fluid ounces good quality coconut milk
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon curry powder (of your choice)
    2 teaspoons tapioca or 2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1/4 cup cold water

    Remove all fat from chicken breasts and discard.
    Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces.
    In a large frying pan, melt butter, add onion and garlic and saute' until onions are translucent.
    Add chicken pieces, cover and fry until cooked through and have turned white, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Stir in pine nuts, soy sauce, paprika, coconut milk, cumin and curry powder; cover and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
    In a cup, mix together tapioca starch and water until dissolved.
    Near the end of cooking the chicken and while sauce is bubbling, add cornstarch mixture, small amounts at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
    Use only enough tapioca mixture so that the sauce has the consistency of gravy.
