Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the sweet potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel). Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
Pop the sweet potato and pepper onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice, ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.
Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Hide the veg: Once cooked, add the sweet potato and pepper to a blender along with the garlic, tomato puree, korma curry paste, coconut milk and chicken stock paste. Blitz until smooth, 1-2 mins. TIP: If you don't have a blender, set the veg aside in a small bowl and add to the chicken once browned in the next step.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Stir the blended veg and coconut mixture into the chicken in the frying pan. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers gently.
Cook until the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Share the rice between shallow serving bowls.
Spoon over the chicken curry and sprinkle over the crispy onions to finish.
