If ever a curry can be described as soothing, it's the korma. Ground almonds help make the sauce even more velvety and honey adds a touch of sweetness. Yes, there's a bit of spice but nothing to be afraid of, and if your kids aren't keen on raisins in currys, just leave them out and put them in their lunchbox for the next day!

Water for the Rice
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion into half moons. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the stalky tops off the green beans and chop them into three pieces. Chop the chicken into 2cm pieces.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and season with a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned all over, 5-6 mins (do this in batches if your pan is small). Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 5 mins. Add the ginger, korma spice and the garlic. Stir together and cook for 1 minute more.
While the chicken is cooking, pour the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil on high heat. Add the rice, bring back to the boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat and leave to rest with the lid on for 10 more mins.
Meanwhile, pour the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) into the pan with the chicken. Add the chicken stock pot, ground almonds, raisins, honey and cream. Stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for 10 mins.
Add the green beans, cover the pan with a lid (or some foil) and cook until the beans are tender and the curry has thickened, another 5-7 mins. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, 2-3 mins. Tip: Add a splash of water if the curry is too thick.
Fluff up the rice with a fork. Serve in bowls with a generous spoonful of curry on top. Enjoy!
