Before you start

  • 2x saucepans

Sizzle the onions, turkey & toms

  • Peel and thinly slice the onions.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry three-quarters of the onions, the turkey and half the tomatoes for 4-5 mins.

Boil the rice

  • Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling water for 10-12 mins, then drain.

Make your chutney

  • At the same time, quarter the remaining tomatoes, and finely chop the coriander.
  • In a bowl, combine the rest of the onions, the quartered tomatoes, coriander and nigella seeds. Sprinkle in the vinegar, lightly season to taste with salt and mix well.

Spice things up!

  • Add the ginger & garlic paste and curry powder to the frying pan, lightly season to taste with salt and cook for 1 min.
  • Pour in the passata and 100ml water. Stir well and simmer for 5-7 mins, until the turkey is cooked and loosely coated by the sauce.

Finish & serve

  • Take the curry off the heat and leave to cool a little, then stir in the yogurt and lightly season to taste.
  • Spoon the curry onto a bed of rice and top with the chutney.
