Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice carrot and zucchini into thick rounds. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

2

• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. • Add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. Add basmati rice and a good pinch of salt. Stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat. Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

3

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine Mild North Indian spice blend with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat.

4

• While the veggies are roasting, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 5-6 minutes.

5

• To the pan with the chicken, add mild curry paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in coconut milk and the water (for the curry). Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

6

• In a small bowl, combine tomato, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. • Bring everything to the table. • Build your own plate with basmati rice, butter chicken curry, roast veggies, zingy tomato, Greek-style yoghurt and crushed peanuts. • If you've selected an add on bundle, serve with pita bread and steamed lemon greens. Enjoy!
