  1. A TEENSY BIT OF PREP

    Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water and set aside for step 3. Submerge the peas in boiling water and set aside.

  2. BUBBLE THE BASMATI

    Rinse the rice, place in a pot, and submerge in 200ml of salted water. Place over a medium-high heat and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes.

  3. SPICY GREEN GOODNESS

    Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the aubergine chunks and quartered patty pans for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown but not cooked through, shifting occasionally. Add the curry paste to taste and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly to coat the veg. Pour in the coconut milk and diluted stock, and mix until the paste is incorporated into the liquid. Pop on a lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the veg is cooked through, stirring occasionally.

  4. POP IN THE CHICKEN

    Rinse the chicken to get rid of any residue from the packet and pat dry with paper towel. Once the curry has finished simmering, submerge the chicken in the sauce and simmer for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. On completion, season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice. Remove from the heat.

  5. FINISH UP

    Once the rice has finished steaming, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork. Drain the peas, add to the rice, and gently toss through.

  6. THAI CURRY NIGHT

    Dish up some warm basmati rice and peas. Smother in the veg-packed Thai chicken curry and garnish with the sliced basil. What a breeze, what a meal. Go Chef!
