  1. RICE

    Place the rice and turmeric in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. Chicken

    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the chicken until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Add the onion and fry until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the tomato paste, the potatoes, and the curry paste and fry until fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked chopped tomatoes and 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 25-30 minutes. In the final 10-15 minutes, mix in the coconut milk. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning.

  3. CRISPY POPPS

    Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the Poppadoms one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up.

  4. DINNER IS READY

    Dish up the rice in a bowl, spoon over the Chicken curry, and side with the crispy Poppadom/s. Sprinkle over the crispy onions, and garnish with the coriander. Lekker eet, Chef!
