ONE-POT CHICKEN & CURRY RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a a large casserole dish (that has a lid) over a medium heat, then fry the onion, garlic and ginger until brown and fragrant, about 10 mins. Stir in the curry paste, turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon, and stir for a few minutes. Add the chicken and cook for another couple of minutes, stirring to colour on all sides.
• Add the rice, stir well, then stir in the stock, coconut milk, a generous pinch of seasoning, the veg and raisins. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on and cook for about 25-30 mins until the water has been absorbed, the chicken and rice are cooked through, and the veg is tender. Season to taste. Remove the cardamom and cinnamon stick, then scatter over the almonds and coriander. Serve with yogurt and mango chutney on the side.

CHICKEN WITH RICE & PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a very large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions for 5 mins or until soft. Meanwhile, coat the chicken thoroughly with the thyme, curry powder and allspice. Add to the pan and briefly brown the chicken, then tip in the tomatoes, chilli, garlic and bouillon. Pour over 450ml water, cover and simmer for 30 mins or until the chicken is tender.
• Meanwhile, tip the rice into a medium-sized pan with the onion, garlic, thyme and bouillon. Pour in 600ml water, cover and cook for 25 mins or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Check toward the end of the cooking time to ensure it isn't starting to catch on the pan. Stir in the beans and heat through. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve half the rice with half the chicken (saving the leftovers for a second meal later in the week). Otherwise you can serve four portions, scattered with a few extra thyme leaves, if you like.

GREEN CABBAGE, PEAS AND CHICKEN CURRY ON BROWN BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• For brown rice: Follow the directions on the bag for either the brown Basmati rice or the long grain brown rice. Normally, it's 1 cup brown rice to 2 cups water, but I always use 21/2 cups water and keep the pot covered for 5 minutes after turning off the burner. Don't forget to add some salt to the rice. As for tomatoes, they're drying up by this time of year. You can use the equivalent of 1 cup chopped, canned tomatoes if you can't find any fresh, juicy tomatoes. Wash and chop the cabbage and set aside. Heat oil for 30 seconds on medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed, shallow pan. Gently stir in tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, salt and any of the optional spices you choose to add. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes. When the oil separates from the tomatoes, you will know that the spices are cooked. Add the chicken strips and onion and stir well. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, depending on the size of your strips. When they are just about cooked through, uncover and add the cabbage. Stir well and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. It's best to taste the cabbage at this stage, because the heat on stoves varies. If it's just slightly crunchy, then add the thawed peas and stir well. If not, cook for a few more minutes before stirring in the peas. Turn off heat.
