GET THE BASMATI GOING
Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 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. Drain on completion if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
MARINATING & TOASTING
In a medium-sized bowl, mix ½ tsp of the curry paste and a drizzle of oil. Add the Chicken pieces. Toss until coated, season, and set aside to marinate. Place the Almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
THE CURRY BASE
Place a pot for the curry over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the grated garlic and the remaining curry paste to taste. Fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml of water, and bring to a simmer. Pop on a lid and cook for 10-12 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
GOLDEN Poppadom
When the sauce is nearing completion, return the pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the Poppadom for 30 seconds on one side. When starting to curl, use tongs or a spatula to flip and flatten out. Keep flipping and flattening until puffed up and golden. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to drain on paper towel.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET CREAMY…
Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the coconut cream and Chicken until distributed. Replace the lid and simmer for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, giving it a stir halfway. During the final minute, stir in the rinsed spinach until wilted. Season to taste and remove from the heat on completion.
