Microwave curry: quick, easy, and no mess!
Ingredients:
  • 8 mini pappadums
  • 300g (1 1/2 cups) Basmati rice
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 65g (1/4 cup) Tikka Masala curry paste
  • 12 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 x 400ml can coconut cream
  • 6 (about 660g) chicken thigh fillets, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 200g green beans, topped, cut into 5cm lengths
  • 2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • Fresh coriander leaves, to serve
  • Natural yoghurt, to serve
Instructions:
  • Arrange half of the pappadums on a microwave-safe plate lined with non-stick baking paper. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, flipping once, until they are puffed and golden. Repeat with the remaining pappadums.
  • Place the rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with enough water to have a 2cm water layer above the rice. Seal with a lid or two layers of plastic wrap and set it on a sheet of non-stick baking paper in the microwave. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, followed by another 7 minutes on medium heat. Let it rest covered for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Heat oil and onion in a large microwave-safe bowl for 3 minutes on High/800 watts/100%. Stir in curry paste and curry leaves, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds on High/800 watts/100%.
  • Combine coconut cream and chicken with the onion mixture, stirring until well mixed. Cook uncovered on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the beans and tomato to the mixture. Cook on medium/500 watts/50% heat for 5 minutes or until the beans are vibrant green and tender-crisp and the chicken is fully cooked. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Fluff the rice grains with a fork and portion the rice and curry into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve alongside yogurt and crispy pappadums.
