SOS Chicken Curry with Pilau Rice

SOS Chicken Curry with Pilau Rice

This recipe comes from Ainsley Harriott's Low Fat Meals in Minutes.  It is a bit like a chicken tikka masala, but without the fat! It takes very little time to make as it uses ready prepared chicken and cooked rice.

Serves 6 (or 4 more hungry people )

500g carton passata
1-2 tbsp hot curry paste
400g cooked boneless tandoori chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
150 ml 0%fat Greek yogurt such as Total
1/2 tsp caster sugar
salt and pepper

For the pilau

2 tsp veg oil
1 onion sliced
675g cooked white rice
1 tsp turmeric
25g raisins

chopped fresh coriander to garnish, optional

Put the passata into a pan and stir in the curry paste.  Heat through gently.

Meanwhile, for the rice, heat the oil in a wok and stir fry the onion for 4 mins until nicely browned.  Stir in the rice, turmeric and raisins and heat gently for 3-4 minutes, adding a splash of water if it gets too dry.

Add the chicken and yogurt to the tomato mixture, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 2 minutes until warmed through.  Stir in the sugar and season to taste.

Season the rice and divide between serving plates.  Spoon over the chicken mixture and garnish with coriander.

If you really can't be bothered with doing the rice, get some of that microwave rice and have that with the curry instead......even quicker !
