Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...This recipe takes around 5-10 min to prep, so get your casserole dish and all your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg
Note: Make sure your dish is oven-proof and safe to use on the hob. Don't have one? Start cooking in a large, wide-based pan then transfer to an oven-proof dish and cover tightly with foil
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Now, let's get started!
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Heat a large, wide-based hob-safe oven-proof casserole dish with a matching lid with a drizzle of vegetable oil over high heat
Once hot, add your chicken thighs with a pinch of salt, skin-side down and cook for 3 min or until golden
Meanwhile, boil a kettle
Chop your potato[es] into quarters
Chop your tomato[es] into quarters
Peel and chop your brown onion[s] into wedges
Once browned, remove the chicken from the dish and add the chopped potato, chopped tomato, onion wedges, curry powder, garam masala and tomato paste to the casserole dish with 1 tbsp [1 1/2] [2 tbsp] flour
Add your bay leaf[ves] to the casserole dish with your chicken stock mix and 200ml [260ml] [350ml] boiled water
Bring to the boil, then return the chicken to the dish, skin side up
Put the dish in the oven, lid off, for an initial 30-35 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and the potatoes are tender
Add your white long grain rice to an oven-proof dish with 300ml [390ml] [600ml] boiled water, your ground turmeric, sultanas, a pinch of salt and a knob of butter
Cover tightly with tin foil and put the dish in the oven for 30 min or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked – this is your yellow rice
Once the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, remove the dish from the oven and add your blanched peas
Return the dish to the oven, covered, for a final 3 min or until the peas are warmed through – this is your oven-baked Durban chicken curry
Discard the bay leaf[ves] from the curry
Serve the oven-baked Durban chicken curry with the yellow rice to the side
