Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Pierce your potato[es] with a fork, then cook in the microwave for 6-7 min or until slightly softened

Transfer the softened potato to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt

Step 1
2

Put the tray in the oven and cook for 12-15 min or until the skin is crispy

Meanwhile, boil a kettle

Peel and finely chop your brown onion[s]

Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger, then peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Step 2
3

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add your diced chicken and cook for an initial 2-3 min or until slightly browned

Once slightly browned, add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 4-6 min or until softened

Step 3
4

Add the chopped ginger, chopped garlic and curry powder to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 min

While the onion is softening, chop your creamed coconut roughly (if required!)

Dissolve your chicken stock mix and chopped creamed coconut in 200ml [260ml] [350ml] boiled water

Add your tomato paste and stir it all together – this is your coconut stock

Step 4
5

Add the coconut stock to the pan and cook for 4-5 min or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Meanwhile, wash your spinach then add to a colander and pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt

Rinse the wilted spinach under cold running water until it's cool

Once cool, squeeze the water out of the spinach

Step 5
6

Once the curry has thickened, add the wilted spinach and the juice of half your lime[s] – this is your creamy chicken curry

Once the potato is cooked, add your cashews to the tray and return it to the oven for a further 2-3 min or until the cashews are golden and toasted

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Step 6
7

Slice your red chilli[es] into rounds

Cut the remaining lime into wedges

Step 7
8

Cut the baked sweet potato in half, lengthways, and fill with the creamy chicken curry

Garnish with the chilli rounds (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), toasted cashew and a lime wedge

Enjoy!
