Bengal Chicken, Chickpea & Veggie Curry

with Garlic Rice & Coriander

This hearty, Bengali-inspired chicken curry makes the most of mild and warming spices, which are brought together with creamy coconut milk and a healthy sprinkle of vibrant coriander.

Unfortunately, this week’s chickpeas were in short supply, so we’ve replaced them with lentils. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt. Stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove 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!

Add Bengal curry paste, Mumbai spice blend and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the brown sugar, coconut milk, cooked chicken (and any chicken resting juices) and the water (for the curry). Simmer until thickened slightly, 2-4 minutes.
