Chop, chop!

  • Peel and finely dice the onions, deseed and dice the peppers into 2cm squares, and halve any larger tomatoes. On a separate board, cut the chicken into 2cm chunks.

Simmer your curry

  • Boil a half-full kettle. Spritz a medium non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the onions and peppers for 5-7 mins.
  • Add the tomatoes, diced chicken, ginger & garlic paste and curry powder, stir well and cook for 1 min. Crumble in the stock, pour in 150ml boiled water (200ml for 4 portions) and stir well, then simmer for 10-12 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Sort the rice

  • Meanwhile, coarsely grate the broccoli (itʼs OK if thereʼs a few small whole florets).
  • Cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, adding the broccoli for the final 2 mins until cooked, then drain.

Prep the herbs

  • Finely chop half the coriander, and half the mint leaves.

Add your final flourishes

  • Take the curry off the heat and leave to cool slightly, then stir through the chopped mint and yogurt. Stir the chopped coriander and most of the pomegranate seeds through the rice.
  • Spoon the curry over the rice, then scatter over the remaining mint leaves, coriander sprigs and pomegranate.
