Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions

1

Boil a large pot of water with ¼ tsp of salt for your rice. Once the water is rapidly boiling add the rice. Cook for around 25 mins or until soft enough to eat. Drain the rice and place back in the pan with a cloth over it until you are ready to eat.

Finely dice chilli
2

Chop the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Peel and finely dice both the onion and the garlic. Slice the chilli in half and dice as much as you want in your curry. Tip: The spice mix is already slightly hot so go careful if you like it mild.

Finely dice ginger
3

Using the edge of a spoon peel the skin from the ginger. Dice the ginger very finely.

4

Heat ½ tbsp of oil in a non-stick pan on high heat. Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with the cornflour and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Once the oil is really hot, gently add the chicken into the pan (it’ll sputter a bit). Cook for a few mins until golden brown then remove from the pan.

Add chilli
5

Turn the heat down to medium-low and add another ½ tbsp of oil. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger and cook gently for 5 mins. Tip: Make sure you do not burn the ingredients - if they are getting too hot add 1 tbsp of cold water and turn the heat down.

Add chicken
6

Add the Masala spice to the onion mix and cook for a further minute. Next add the tinned tomatoes with ¼ tsp of sugar and ¼ tsp of salt. Add the chicken back into the pan. Turn the heat to low and let the mixture gently bubble until slightly thicker.

7

Once the sauce has thickened, add ⅔ of yoghurt and stir. Leave to bubble gently for 5 mins before adding a few tbsp of chopped coriander to the mix.

Finished dish
8

Serve the curry with your rice and a sprinkle of chopped coriander. Ta-daaa!
