Mix 1tbsp of the curry powder with a little oil until you have a marinade the consistency of runny honey. Then add to a zip-lock bag with the pheasant breasts, give everything a good shake, and marinate for half an hour.
Add the yoghurt to a bowl then mix in the remaining curry powder, turmeric, cinnamon, chutney, seasoning and – if desired – the sultanas. Put to one side.
Cook the pheasant breasts in a medium-hot pan with a little oil for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning frequently.
Allow the breasts to rest for a few minutes before tearing into strips and adding to the bowl of sauce. Mix well.
Serve your coronation pheasant with salad and warm flatbreads.
