  1. GET THE RICE GOING

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml 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 steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and cover.

  2. MARINATING…

    In a bowl, combine ½ a tsp of curry paste and a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towel, and add to the bowl. Toss until coated, season, and set aside to marinate.

  3. THE CURRY BASE

    Place a pot, for the curry, over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and the diced carrot until browned, 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic and the remaining curry paste (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml of water. Bring to a simmer, pop on a lid, and cook until thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally).

  4. FINISH OFF STRONG

    Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the chicken pieces. Replace the lid and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, for 3-4 minutes (stirring halfway). Add seasoning and a sweetener. Remove from the heat.
