RICE IT UP
Place the rinsed rice and Turmeric in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and steam with the lid on for 10 minutes until cooked. On completion, drain if necessary, toss through the poppy seeds and cover to keep warm until serving.
MARINATION STATION
Rinse the Chicken mini fillets, pat dry with paper towel, and place in a bowl. Add ½ the Jalfrezi curry spice, a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Toss until fully coated and set aside to marinate.
THE CURRY BASE
Place a pot, large enough for the curry, over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced Onion and the pepper pieces, fry for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated Garlic, the chopped Chilli (to taste) and the remaining Jalfrezi curry spice (to taste). Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and 150ml of water. Mix until fully combined and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, pop on a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET CREAMY…
Once the sauce has thickened, add the marinated Chicken pieces. Replace the lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. During the final minute, add the halved green beans. Season with a sweetener of choice (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander and seasoning.
