  1. RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover 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. COCONUT FLAKES

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. BROWN THE CHICKEN

    Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the chicken pieces until lightly golden but not cooked through, 30-60 seconds per side.

  4. CURRY

    Return the pan with all the pan juices to medium heat. When hot, fry the diced onions until soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the curry powder and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk and 50ml of water. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 6-8 minutes. In the final, 2-3 minutes, add the peas and the browned chicken. Loosen with a splash of water if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.

  5. TIME TO DINE

    Make a bed of the fluffy rice, pour over the coconut curry, and sprinkle over the toasted coconut flakes. Well done, Chef!
