Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon medium curry powder
  • 2 tomatoes roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 200 ml chicken stock
  • 600 g skinned chicken breasts cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pan, over a medium heat.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic together, stirring regularly, until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the turmeric and curry powder, stir these in, for about 20 seconds.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, keep stirring everything together. If at this point the mixture is too dry and sticking to the pan, add a little hot water from the kettle. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are broken down.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, and either using a stick blender or a food processor blitz the ingredients to a curry paste and then return to the heat.
  • Once the sauce is simmering gently, add the salt and the chicken stock.
  • Bring to the boil, turn down to simmer, stir in the chicken, coating well with the sauce and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Check the chicken is cooked by cutting one piece in half to ensure it is not still pink inside.
  • Serve on rice of your choice (I prefer the healthier wholegrain basmati rice) and garnish with the freshly chopped coriander.
