Ingredients

2 cups Basmati rice

For the chicken curry

2 tbsp oil

1 large onion, sliced into rings

1 sprig curry leaves

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger root

3 tsp curry masala

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground turmeric

1kg skinless chicken breasts cut into strips

3 small Chillies finely chopped (or left whole if you prefer it mild, you fish them out at the end of cooking time)

2 medium Tomatoes

200ml chicken stock

1 tsp tomato purée

4-5 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced

fresh coriander leaves, to serve

For the tomato and mint sambal (Indian salad)

2 ripe firm Tomatoes, diced - or 2 carrots grated

2 tsp mint sauce or mint jelly

1 green chilli, finely diced

2 tsp red wine vinegar

pinch Sugar

Directions

Make the tomato and mint sambal first: mix all the ingredients together, cover and leave to chill for an hour before serving.

For the lamb curry: heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion and curry leaves until the onion is soft and golden brown. Stir in the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for a couple of minutes over a low heat.

Increase the temperature and add the meat and chillies, stirring well for a few minutes.

Add the tomatoes, half the stock and cook for about 10 minutes before adding the tomato purée.

Add the potatoes and the remaining stock; cover and simmer for a further 20 minutes.

Remove the chillies and curry leaves, adjust the seasoning if necessary and sprinkle with the coriander before serving.

Serve on a bed of rice with the tomato and mint sambal.
