Easy and quick to put together chicken curry

Serves: 4

Time to make: 40 mins

Hands-on time: 5 mins

Ingredients

More weights & measures

spray oil
1 large onion, sliced
450g chicken breast (skin removed), diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon tomato purée
125g cooked rice to serve, optional
cooked samosas to serve, optional

Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 min until softened slightly, then add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 min until browned.

2 Add the garlic and cook for 1 min, then add all the other ingredients with about 400ml water. The water should just about cover the chicken – you may need a little more or less depending on the size of your pan. Season with freshly ground black pepper and leave to simmer gently for 20 min.

3 Turn the heat up and allow the curry to boil for another 5 min, stirring frequently to ensure it doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pan – this will reduce and thicken the sauce slightly.

4 Serve with your favourite rice (for 50g raw weight or half a ready to heat pack per serving, add about 170kca/712 kl) and samosas, if you like.

HFG tip

You can swap the chicken for diced lean lamb, if you like.
