Cheat’s chicken korma

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 1 3⁄4 hours

Ingredients

1 free-range chicken
50 g Woolworths korma curry paste
1 cup coconut cream
sea salt, to taste
20 g fresh coriander, for sprinkling
cumin poppadoms, for serving
1 medium cucumber, very thinly sliced

For the coconut-coriander rice:

200 g basmati rice
1 1⁄2 cups water
a pinch salt
2⁄3 cup coconut cream
20 g fresh coriander, chopped

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C. Cut out the chicken’s backbone (freeze for soup or stock). Open out the chicken as flat as possible and place in a roasting pan lined with baking paper.

2. Mix the curry paste with the coconut cream and spread all over the chicken. Season lightly with salt. Roast skin-side up for 1 1⁄2 hours, or until bronzed and tender. Turn off the heat and leave for 10–15 minutes. Sprinkle with the coriander.

3. To make the coconut-coriander rice, rinse the rice well in a sieve. Place the rice in a suitable saucepan. Stir in the water, salt and coconut cream and allow to stand for about 20 minutes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover tightly and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the coriander, cover tightly and turn off the heat. Leave for 5 minutes.

4. To serve, spoon the pan juices over portions of chicken and serve with the rice, poppadoms and cucumber.
