Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
