Instructions

Cook the Rice
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Pour the cold water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Stir in the rice and 1/4 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).

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Cut into 1cm chunks.
Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot.

Get Roasting
3

Pop the pepper and shallot onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 15-18 mins.

Simmer and Spice
4

While the veg roasts, heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the garlic, tomato puree and korma style paste and cook until fragrant, 2-3 mins.
Stir in the chicken, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the curry (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cover with a lid. Simmer until thickened, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Curry Up
5

Meanwhile, halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop.
Remove the lid from the curry and stir in the creme fraiche and cashew butter until well combined. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins more. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, pop the naans onto a baking tray. Spread over the butter (see pantry for amount) and pop into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything is ready, taste and season your curry with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
Share the rice between your bowls and top with your ultimate creamy chicken korma.
Spoon over the shallot and pepper topping, then finish with a sprinkle of green chilli (careful, it's hot).
Serve your buttery naans alongside.
Enjoy!
