Instructions

Get Started
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle. 

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins. 

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

d) While the rice cooks, trim the green beans, then cut into thirds. 

Prep Time
2

a) Next, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper

c) 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. 

Add the Flavour
3

a) Once the chicken has browned, add the Chettinad style paste and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins. 

b) Next, add the passata, chicken stock paste, green beans, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Simmer Simmer
4

a) Bring the sauce to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

All Together Now
5

a) Once thickened, add the spinach to the curry a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. 

b) Stir through the caramelised onion paste and remove from the heat.

c) Break up the chicken into large chunks using a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper
