Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breast fillet
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 1 cauliflower
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 piece of ginger (about 2 cm)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 squeeze of lime juice
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 handful of coriander
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · saucepan · blender · food processor · chopping board · knife · wooden spoon · ladle

1. Break the cauliflower into florets and blitz them to fine cauliflower rice in a blender or food processor. Fry briefly in a pan with coconut oil until tender-crisp, then set aside.
2. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, garlic and ginger.
3. Heat coconut oil in a pan and sweat the onion, garlic and ginger briefly. Stir in the turmeric and curry powder and toast only briefly until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken and brown it all over. Pour in the coconut milk and soy sauce, bring to the boil and simmer over a medium heat until the meat is cooked and the sauce is creamy.
5. Season to taste with lime juice and salt. If the curry is too thick, stir in a small splash of water.
6. Divide the cauliflower rice between bowls, spoon the coconut chicken curry over it and serve with fresh coriander.

Good to know

A curry like this is worth its weight in gold on easy and busy days alike. Warm, creamy and pleasantly spiced without feeling heavy. The cauliflower rice gives it bite and it's still satisfying.

Swaps

Chicken breast → skinless chicken thighs (a little juicier, slightly more iron and zinc). Soy sauce → tamari (often gluten-free, similarly savoury). Cauliflower rice → broccoli rice (more fibre and vitamin C). Coconut milk → coconut cream with a little water (creamier, usually a little higher in fat).

Allergens

Contains soya from the soy sauce; keep the seasoning milder for children, and during pregnancy make sure the chicken is cooked through. Contains: gluten (soy sauce).
