Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prepare chicken.
1

Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until nicely browned, 7-10 mins. Turn frequently.

Prep
2

Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the courgette then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.

Cook the Rice
3

Add the water (see ingredients for amount), a pinch of salt and the cinnamon stick to another large saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, stir in the rice, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Cook for 10 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 mins or until ready to serve. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.

Prepare veggies.
4

When the chicken is browned, add the onion to the pan and cook for 5 mins until soft. Next, add the ginger, garlic and Malay curry powder. Stir well and cook for a minute more before adding the stock powder and the water (see ingredients for amount).

Simmer the Curry
5

Bring the curry to the boil, stir well to dissolve the stock powder then add the red lentils. Cover with a lid and lower the heat to a simmer. Let the curry bubble away for 15 mins. Stir every 5 mins. After 5 mins of cooking, add the courgette and cook for 10 mins more. The curry is ready when the lentils are soft and the chicken is cooked through. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
