CARIBBEAN INSPIRED CHICKEN AND FRUIT CURRY

Steps:

• In a large wok, heat up the vegetable oil and fry the chicken, ginger and garlic for around 5 minutes until the chicken turns white (don't worry about fully cooking it, there is plenty of time for that later!).
• Add the onions and all of the spices. Fry for another 5-10 minutes until the onions are soft.
• Add the kiwi, mango, bell pepper and mushrooms. Fry for 5 minutes.
• Evenly cover all ingredients in the flour and cook (occasionally stirring) for 2 minutes.
• Add the vegetable stock and sultanas. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 45 minutes.
• For the rice, rinse it with cold water and place it into a saucepan. Stir in a pinch of salt. Submerge the rice in boiling water (from the kettle), filling until the water approximately doubles the height of the rice. Cover with the lid and boil for 10-15 minutes until there is no liquid left in the bottom of the saucepan. Take it off the heat and fluff up with a fork, stirring in the lime zest and juice.
• Mix the lime zest and coriander leaves into the curry.
• To serve, pile the rice into the centre of the bowl, topping it with a generous portion of curry.
• Enjoy! Any leftover curry can be refrigerated and reheated (until piping hot!) the following day. Tip: for a less healthy (but still delicious version) swap the rice for chips!
