- 250g basmati rice, rinsed
- 600ml chicken stock
- 200ml coconut milk
- 75g frozen peas

Tip
Turn any leftover one-pot chicken
& curry rice into lunch the next day by chilling it overnight, then
dressing it with mayonnaise, extra curry powder, and mango
chutney, if you like.
Method
1. Heat the oil in a large casserole
dish (that has a lid) over medium heat, then fry the onion, garlic, and ginger until brown and fragrant, about 10 mins. Stir in the curry paste,
turmeric, cardamom, and cinnamon, and stir for a few minutes. Add the chicken
and cook for a few minutes, stirring to color on all sides.
2. Add the rice, stir well, then stir in the stock, coconut milk, a generous pinch of seasoning, the veg, and raisins. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, pop the lid on, and cook for about 25-30 mins until the water has been absorbed, the chicken and rice are cooked through, and the veg is tender. Season to taste. Remove the cardamom and cinnamon sticks, then scatter over the almonds and coriander. Serve with yogurt and mango chutney on the side.
